Abstract

A method of manufacturing an ultrasonic transmission component of an ultrasonic surgical instrument includes forming, via additive manufacturing, a waveguide, including a body portion, a curved blade extending distally from the body portion, and a lumen extending through a portion of the body portion and a portion of the curved blade. Another method of manufacturing an ultrasonic transmission component of an ultrasonic surgical instrument includes forming, via additive manufacturing, a waveguide, including a body portion and a blade extending distally from the body portion. At least one of the body portion or the blade defines a varied density.
