Performance optimization of vessel sealing using a hemostatic ultrasonic scalpel.

Using ultrasound technology as one of the therapeutic methods, in which ultrasound waves of different frequencies and intensities are employed, has significantly contributed to enhancing and facilitating the treatment process of various diseases. A Hemostatic Ultrasonic Scalpel can entail considerable advantages by simultaneously performing two operations tissue cutting and coagulation of biological tissues. In the present study, employing experimental design through response surface methodology, the effect of ultrasonic power and the duration of vibration application on the tissue has been investigated.
