6877975, Apr 12, 2005
Filed:
Oct 16, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/978858
Inventors:
David G. Wuchinich - Yonkers NY, US
International Classification:
B06B001/02
US Classification:
4251742, 156 731, 228 11, 264443
Abstract:
A tubular resonant mechanical horn having a contoured inner surface such that, under vibration, an output radial displacement is obtained on the outer surface of horn that is substantially uniform over its entire surface, for producing effects useful in continuous processes. The horn does not contain a node of motional displacement.

Longitudinal-Torsional Ultrasonic Tissue Dissection

View page
US Patent:
6984220, Jan 10, 2006
Filed:
Apr 11, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/833109
Inventors:
David G. Wuchinich - Yonkers NY, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/20
US Classification:
604 22, 606169
Abstract:
An ultrasonic tissue dissection system providing combined longitudinal and torsional motion of tips, together with irrigation and aspiration, for improved cutting of resistant biological tissue. The system permits the use of common and inexpensive electro-mechanical transducers for the production of such motion through the use of longitudinal-torsional resonators.

Retractable Ultrasonic Endoscopic Aspirator

View page
US Patent:
8187168, May 29, 2012
Filed:
Jul 7, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/217555
Inventors:
David George Wuchinich - Yonkers NY, US
International Classification:
A61B 1/00
A61B 1/307
A61B 8/00
US Classification:
600105, 600135, 600439
Abstract:
A surgical instrument comprising a sleeve, a electro-mechanical transducer containing a hollow passage for producing mechanical vibrations in response to a magnetic field, an ultrasonic horn mechanically connected to the transducer, containing a hollow passage communicating with that in the transducer, for amplifying the produced vibration such that dissection of biological tissue is produced and a tip having a hollow passage, mechanically connected to the horn and whose passage communicates with that in the horn, for contacting such tissue, connection of the passage to a source of vacuum and a sheath connected to the instrument and surrounding the tip and horn, with a connection to a source of irrigating fluid and a structure for mounting the transducer and horn within the sleeve permitting retracting and extension of the transducer and horn within and with respect to the sheath. The transducer, horn and tip are immersed in the irrigating solution. The instrument may also include a telescope for viewing the tissue contacting site and provision for electrifying the tip with electro-cauterizing current as well as provision for the use of endo-laser fulguration of the site.

Ultrasonic Liquefaction Method And Apparatus Using A Tapered Ultrasonic Tip

View page
US Patent:
20070255196, Nov 1, 2007
Filed:
Dec 11, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/608975
Inventors:
David G. Wuchinich - Yonkers NY, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/20
US Classification:
604 22
Abstract:
Ultrasonic vitreous liquefaction is achieved through use of an apparatus which includes a transducer for generating an ultrasonic vibration to longitudinally ultrasonically vibrate a solid ultrasonic tip. The tip is preferably tapered and the free end of the tip is preferably at least partially surrounded by a stationary sheath. The apparatus may include structure for applying irrigation and aspiration.

Ultrasonic Aspirator

View page
US Patent:
42236762, Sep 23, 1980
Filed:
Dec 19, 1977
Appl. No.:
5/861599
Inventors:
David G. Wuchinich - New York NY
Alan Broadwin - New York NY
Robert P. Andersen - New York NY
Assignee:
Cavitron Corporation - New York NY
International Classification:
A61M 100
US Classification:
128276
Abstract:
Apparatus for the surgical removal of tissue is disclosed comprising a handpiece having a resonant vibrator with a magnetostrictive stack and connecting body encompassing a hollow elongated tool which is ultrasonically vibrated at its tip longitudinally to a peak to peak stroke of at least 0. 005 inches at about 25,000 cps (25 KHz). A generator powers the vibrator and is automatically controlled at the frequency to maintain the resonant vibration. Aspiration is provided by suction through the hollow tool at its tip, and a manifold enclosing the tool end of the handpiece provides irrigation.

Tapered Tip Ultrasonic Aspiration Method

View page
US Patent:
53585054, Oct 25, 1994
Filed:
Jun 22, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/081580
Inventors:
David G. Wuchinich - New York NY
Assignee:
Sonokinetics, Inc. - Hoboken NJ
International Classification:
A61B 1756
US Classification:
606 99
Abstract:
A method for the melting and removal of thermoplastic prosthetic implant cement through the use of an aspirating ultrasonic surgical device is provided. The instrument defines a centrally located bore which expands in diameter from a surgical tip in the direction of aspirant flow for a length equal to at least 1/4 the wavelength corresponding to the resonant frequency of the device so as to prevent blockage by solidified cores of cement. Alternatively, the bore expands from a first uniform diameter extending from the tip end to a second uniform diameter. A compound taper at the tip end minimizes contact between the outer surface of the tube at the tip end. A novel transducer cooling system is provided by incorporating a thermally conductive, electrically insulating material between the piezoelectric crystal (which generates heat as a byproduct) and a hollow metal bolt which defines a central bore through which cooling irrigant flows to conductively remove heat generated by the crystal.
