Increased safety for surgeons and patients, promoting reduced risk of damage to surrounding soft tissue.
- MICROMETRIC CUT
Maximum surgical precision and intra-operative tactile sensation. Minimal bone loss through the cutting width.
- CAVITATION EFFECT
Maximum intra-operative visibility. Blood-free surgical site.
POST-OPERATIVE
BENEFITS
-
ENHANCED HEALING
Improved recovery and faster bone healing.
- REDUCED RISK OF EDEMA
Postoperative swelling and discomfort.
- REDUCTION OF COMPLICATIONS
Minor risk of recurrences.
EXCELLENCE IN BONE SURGERY
PIEZOSURGERY® is engineered to support an expansive range of surgical applications. Every field of surgical excellence is backed by evidence based intraoperative and postoperative advantages.
- Power meets precision
- Increased efficiency
- Cutting-edge technology
Piezosurgery vs Traditional Instrumentation
The use of conventional manual or motorized instruments commonly used for osteotomies leads to increased risks, intraoperatively and postoperatively. The rotating component that characterizes traditional drills can therefore lead to damage to the surrounding soft tissues.
YESTERDAY
Potential damage to surrounding soft tissue and delicate anatomy
No respect for the safety of surrounding soft tissues Difficulty in managing the osteotomy lines Limited visibility of the surgical site Increased bone loss
Post-operative edema and swelling High risk of bone necrosis TODAY WITH PIEZOSURGERY®
Protection of soft tissue, including dura, nerves and vessels
High cutting precision Easy and precise shaping of bone flaps Maximum intraoperative visibility Minimal bone loss/gap Blood-free surgical site Reduced bone necrosis Less pain, edema and swelling for the patients, better aesthetical outcomeEXPERIENCE PIEZOSURGERY®

The minimal postoperative pain appears remarkable; in the same direction, the first impression about the rapidity of recovery appears noteworthy:
it results in a reduced necessity of postoperative medications, due to a lesser production of granulation tissue and, consequently, to the possibility to better foresee the stabilized result with important anatomical and functional implications.

Piezosurgery® proved to be a useful and safe technique for selective bone cutting and removal of osteophytes with preservation of neuronal and soft tissue in ACDF. In particular, the angled inserts were effective in cutting bone spurs behind the adjacent vertebra which cannot be reached with conventional rotating burs.
