Abstract
An ultrasonic system includes an ultrasonic device having an ultrasonic transducer, and a core wire having a proximal end coupled to the ultrasonic transducer and a distal end portion that terminates at a distal tip. An ultrasonic energy source is electrically connected to the ultrasonic transducer. The ultrasonic energy source includes an ultrasonic signal generator circuit, a modulator circuit, and a controller. The ultrasonic signal generator circuit generates an ultrasonic electrical signal. The modulator circuit amplitude modulates the ultrasonic electrical signal with a macro-motion electrical signal to generate a modulated ultrasonic electrical signal. The controller executes program instructions to select between an engagement mode and a transverse mode, wherein in the engagement mode the first ultrasonic electrical signal is supplied from the ultrasonic energy source to the ultrasonic transducer and in the transverse mode the modulated ultrasonic electrical signal is supplied from the ultrasonic energy source to the ultrasonic transducer.
