Thunderbeat is one of the first tissue management systems to integrate ultrasonic and high-frequency technology for the swift cutting and reliable sealing of tissue in a single instrument. The grip may be operated with one hand and features a frontal lever that offers increased tactile feedback and stability when gripping tissue. The rotatable buttons can be easily accessed irrespective of the surgeon’s hand size or position.
