Abstract
An ultrasonic horn, an ultrasonic transducer assembly including the same, and an ultrasonic surgical instrument including the same. The ultrasonic horn includes a body and a nose. The body defines a length and a maximum diameter of the ultrasonic horn. The body includes at least one depression arranged annularly thereabout that is configured to receive at least one protrusion for mounting the body within a support structure. The nose extends distally from the body. The body defines a proximal connector configured to enable the body to be secured to a piezoelectric stack and the nose defines a distal connector configured to enable the nose to be engaged with a waveguide for transmission of ultrasonic energy produced by the piezoelectric stack to the waveguide.
