Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A treatment method is a treatment method for cutting cartilage of a human body by an ultrasonic device including a cutting section that ultrasonically vibrates. The treatment method includes cutting the cartilage with a product of an amplitude of the cutting section and a pressing force for pressing the cutting section against the cartilage being 100 (N·μm) or larger.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A treatment method for cutting cartilage of a human body by an ultrasonic device including a cutting section that ultrasonically vibrates, the treatment method comprising: cutting the cartilage with a product of an amplitude of the cutting section and a pressing force for pressing the cutting section against the cartilage being 100 (N·μm) or larger. 2. The treatment method according to claim 1 , wherein the ultrasonic device includes a sensor for detecting the pressing force, and the treatment method further comprises adjusting the amplitude to make the product of the amplitude and the pressing force 100 (N·μm) in accordance with the pressing force detected by the sensor. 3. The treatment method according to claim 1 , further comprising making the product of the amplitude and the pressing force smaller than 300 (Nμm). 4. A treatment method for cutting cartilage of a human body by an ultrasonic device including a cutting section that ultrasonically vibrates, the treatment method comprising: cutting the cartilage with a product of an amplitude of the cutting section and a pressing force for pressing the cutting section against the cartilage being 100 (N·μm) or larger; and reporting to a user when the product of the amplitude and the pressing force is 100 (N·μm) or larger. 5. The treatment method according to claim 4 , wherein the ultrasonic device includes a sensor for detecting the pressing force, and the treatment method further comprises adjusting the amplitude to make the product of the amplitude and the pressing force 100 (N·μm) in accordance with the pressing force detected by the sensor. 6. The treatment method according to claim 4 , further comprising making the product of the amplitude and the pressing force smaller than 300 (N·μm).
