Abstract
An electrical apparatus for driving an ultrasonic piezoelectric crystal transducer in a surgical handpiece for the fragmentation and aspiration of tissue, which apparatus includes an electronic control loop (12) in combination with a voltage source amplifier (2) having an output which is connected to the piezoelectric crystal transducer (3) with a tuning inductor (4) in parallel. A control system for monitoring the control loop (12) and a component for controlling tissue selectivity are also disclosed.
