Abstract
An ultrasonic surgical device in accordance with the present invention includes a transmission component adapted to receive ultrasonic vibration from a transducer assembly and to transmit the ultrasonic vibration from a first end to a second end. An inner damping member surrounds at least a portion of the transmission component. The dampening member is adapted to contact the transmission component to dampen undesired vibration during ultrasonic transmission.
