A hand-held component of an ultrasonic surgical system intended to be connected to a system holder/tip or combined holder/tip, whereby it is designed to convert high frequency electrical current from a generator into an ultrasonic oscillation, to fragment hard and/or soft tissue cells for cutting and/or coagulating tissue during surgery (e.g., arthroscopic); it is not dedicated to dental applications. It may be referred to as a handpiece however it does not include controls and cannot be directly connected to the tip. This is a reusable device.
