About HARMONIC FOCUS® Long Curved Shears
Precise ultrasonic technology for deep access procedures.
HARMONIC FOCUS Long Curved Shears are:
Efficient:
- With fewer instrument exchanges, you can work more efficiently and maintain focus on the surgical field
- Use of HARMONIC® Technology in pancreatectomy saved approximately 30 minutes as compared to clamp, cut, and tie*
Multifunctional:
- Curved fine tip for fine dissection, cutting, coagulating and grasping
- Seals vessels up to and including 5mm as well as lymphatics†
- Minimal lateral thermal spread for dissection near vital structures1
Ergonomic:
- Comfortable, familiar scissors grip feels like a natural extension of your hand
- Activation with multiple hand positions, thanks to 240° trigger rings
* In a retrospective analysis of data from 623 US hospitals, use of the HARMONIC Technology in pancreatectomy procedures performed in 2008 resulted in a statistically significant mean time savings as compared to clamp, cut, and tie [6.9 hours vs. 7.4 hours (P value = 0.022)]
† Based on preclinical testing of lymphatic vessels up to and including 1mm in diameter.1
Description + Specs
The HARMONIC FOCUS Long Curved Shears are a sterile, single patient use instrument consisting of a soft grip scissor handle housing assembly with two hand controls (MIN for minimum power level and MAX for maximum power level).
Features include:
- A curved blade and clamp arm with teflon tissue pad.
- Measured from the blade tip to the MAX hand control power button, the instrument is 17cm in length with a 16mm active blade length.
- Allows for the cutting and coagulation of vessels up to and including 5mm in diameter.
Procedure applications:
- General surgery
- Colorectal surgery
- Plastic surgery

How to Use
Science + Technology
With more than 10 million procedures completed worldwide – both laparoscopic and open – HARMONIC® Ultrasonic Surgical Devices are the leaders in advanced energy.
Our HARMONIC Surgical Instruments deliver precisely directed mechanical energy – with an ultrasonic, vibrating blade. A single device dissects, cuts, grasps, spot coagulates, and creates otomies. The result is a winning combination of performance, minimal thermal spread, and multifunctionality.
How it works:
- Electrical energy is produced by a generator and passes into the hand piece.
- Piezoelectric ceramic discs convert electrical energy into mechanical motion.
- Mechanical motion is transferred to the shaft, where it is amplified by silicon nodes.
- The blade vibrates longitudinally at 55,500 Hz, enabling tissue separation with minimal thermal transfer.
Tissue effect:
Low frequency ultrasonic energy creates cellular friction, causing amino acids in protein to unwind and reshape and hydrogen bonds to break down. The amino acids transform into a new protein shape, forming a sticky coagulum that seals vessels.
