HARMONIC® Technology
Unique multifunctionality and precision

HARMONIC Technology is unique in the way it operates and performs, offering a degree of precision and multifunctionality found in no other energy-based surgical device.

  • Multifunctional – dissects, cuts, grasps, spot coagulates and creates otomies
  • Mechanical energy – a blade vibrating 55,500 times a second – simultaneously cuts and coagulates tissue
  • Ultrasonic vibration – reduces tissue to a sticky coagulum, sealing vessels walls together

Four different tissue effects

HARMONIC Technology ultrasonic vibration creates four different tissue effects: cutting, coaptation, coagulation and cavitation.
