The handpiece for use in a surgical or medical operation, includes means for generating instructions to control operation of at least one apparatus connected to the handpiece or associated with the surgical or medical operation through a pneumatic variation or a series of pneumatic variations in a fluid transported by at least one control conduit connecting the handpiece to a pressure or depression generator, the variation or series of variations being generated by a direct or indirect digital action by the operator on the control conduit or an opening of the conduit, the variation or series of variations being detected, then processed and exploited to remotely control the apparatus. The control method comprises generating at least one pressure or depression variation or discontinuity by a digital action on an area, a specific shape, or a key on the body of the handpiece connected by a conduit to a pressure or depression generator, the variation or discontinuity being detected by a detector or a sensor coupled to a circuit which generates a corresponding detection signal or detection signals, and the detection signal or detection signals being processed to control the operation of the apparatus, so that the handpiece constitutes a remote control for the apparatus concerned. The invention is of interest to handpiece manufacturers.

Pneumatic control handpiece for surgical and medical use

The pressurized liquid dissection apparatus has means for pressurization of working liquids and treatment liquids, controlled discharge means for a pressurized jet, and means for switching or mixing a treatment product with the working liquid or multiplexing means during pulsed mode operation of pressurized pulsed jets. The procedure consists in pressurized spraying of at least one treatment product with the pressurized surgical working jet or separately therefrom but with the same apparatus and during the same intervention so as to realize a surgical act and a therapeutic act during one and the same intervention. This invention is applicable in the surgical and medical fields.

Apparatus and method for dissection by pressurized liquid and injection by pressurized projection of a treating product

Process for generating a pulsatile stream of a pulsed-suctioned sterile fluid jet and resulting pulsed jet for a handpiece, in particular for surgical use

The apparatus connects to a pressurized sterile liquid source SOSPE and to an aspiration source SOSPI and is composed of two basic channels, one for a pressurized sterile liquid jet Jet HP for dissection and the other for a flow jet Jet DEBIT for lavage/rinsing or irrigation, with each channel linked to a specific handpiece. Each of the dissection and the lavage/rinsing channels passes through a flow control unit ESCA,and ESCA,, respectively, which provides for the opening/closing of the fluid links in continuous or pulsed operation making it possible to operate as a pulsed jet or to obtain a continuous jet. This invention applies primarily to manufacturers of apparatuses for medical or surgical use.
