Abstract

Apparatuses for cutting tissue include an oscillator assembly and a clamp. The oscillator assembly defines a resonance frequency and includes a frame, an excitation element, and a blade. The frame has an upper portion and a lower portion, and the lower portion is configured to oscillate relative to the upper portion. The excitation element is coupled with the lower portion of the frame, and the excitation element is selectively operable to provide an excitation signal to the oscillator assembly sufficient to cause the oscillator assembly to oscillate at the resonance frequency. The blade is coupled with the lower portion for sectioning tissue. The clamp is selectively moveable along the frame to alter the resonance frequency of the oscillator assembly.
