What Is a Harmonic Scalpel and How Does It Work? You have probably heard about the harmonic scalpel and its role in treating hemorrhoids; but what is a harmonic scalpel and how does it work? A harmonic scalpel is medical equipment that is used in surgical procedures as an alternative to a steel scalpel or electro-surgical diathermy. It makes use of ultrasound technology to cut tissues and seal the edges. It is used in surgical procedures for simultaneously cutting and coagulating tissues.

EBME & Clinical Engineering Articles Medical procedures that can be performed using the harmonic scalpel include thyroidectomy, lung biopsy, laparoscopic cyst decortication, tonsillectomy, and gynaecologic cancer. Many plastic surgeons have also found that it is a better system to performing plastic surgery, such as a face-lift, breast reduction, breast augmentation, or tummy tuck.

- Effective 1/1/2009 CPT code 95992- Canalith repositioning procedure(s) (eg, Epley maneuver, Semont maneuver), per day— is considered a “sometimes therapy” code. This is a bundled procedure and therefore will not be paid separately. This service is considered incorporated into other services performed on the same day.

Davit This type was used on the Lifeboats of the RMS Titanic. Each arm must be rotated out manually; uses manila rope falls. Goose-neck shape to the arm that is swung out. Mechanical (obsolete) — This type is like the radial davit, but both arms are moved out at the same time using a screw system; uses manila rope falls.

spinal instrumentation Cotrel-Dubousset instrumentation uses hooks and rods in a cross-linked pattern to realign the spine and redistribute the biomechanical stress. The main advantage of Cotrel-Dubousset instrumentation is that, because of the extensive cross-linking, the patient may have to wear a cast or brace after surgery.

Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP) 1 A type of forceps, called a tenaculum, may be used to hold the cervix steady for the procedure. You may feel some cramping when the tenaculum is applied. 2  You will hear humming and/or blowing sounds from the equipment.  The LEEP wire will be inserted through the speculum and passed through the abnormal tissues.

- So you move the pendulum up, the clock will run faster. Move the pendulum down, the clock will run slower. I'm going to demonstrate how to do that on a grandfather clock.Most pendulum clocks will be very similar. They will have a little nut down at the bottom.urn it to the left to lower it, and the clock will run slower. When you're adjusting the nut, you need to be gentle with it. I usually recommend holding the pendulum up a little higher, so you don't twist it and cause damage up in the clock. And then simply turn the nut.

Laser vs. electrosurgery for soft tissue cutting Advantages of electrosurgery. An inexpensive scalpel will accomplish most soft tissue cutting needs well (Fig. 1). However, most dentists have an electrosurgery unit and use it routinely in practice (Fig. 2). These devices operate effectively for many years without repair and are inexpensive.

Scaling and root planing Often, an electric device, known as an ultrasonic, sonic scaler, or power scaler may be used during scaling and root planing. Ultrasonic scalers vibrate at a frequency to help with removing stain, plaque and calculus. In addition, ultrasonic scalers create tiny air bubbles through a process known as cavitation.

Overview Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) In transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), an electromagnetic coil placed against the scalp creates a magnetic field that stimulates certain areas of the brain. During a TMS session, an electromagnetic coil is placed against your scalp near your forehead.

Geriatric Percussion is a diagnostic procedure used to determine the density of a part by tapping the surface with short, sharp blows and evaluating the resulting sounds. In the abdomen it can be used to detect fluid (ascites), a gaseous distention of the intestine as occurs in bowel obstruction, or an enlargement of the liver.

5.5 Land Surveying and Conventional Techniques for Measuring Positions on the Earthâs Surface Typical short-range EDMs can be used to measure distances as great as 5 kilometers at accuracies up to one part in 20,000, twice as accurate as taping. Instruments called total stations (Figure 5.14) combine electronic distance measurement and the angle measuring capabilities of theodolites in one unit. Next we consider how these instruments are used to measure horizontal positions in relation to established control networks. Figure 5.14: A modern total station.
