The CUSA NXT Bone Tips are accessories to the CUSA NXT Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator System that is indicated for use in surgical procedures where fragmentation, emulsification and aspiration of soft and hard (e.g. bone) tissue is desirable, including Neurosurgery, Gastrointestinal and affiliated organ surgery, Urological surgery, Plastic and Reconstructive surgery, General surgery, Orthopedic surgery, Gynecological surgery, Thoracic surgery, Laparoscopic surgery and Thoracoscopic surgery. The indications for use for the NXT system have not changed due to the addition of the NXT Bone Tips.

The NXT Bone tips will attach to the Selector 24 kHz Neuro Short Handpiece (1523000M7) and will be controlled by the CUSA NXT console. Ultrasonic surgical aspirators facilitate the removal of cellular and other unwanted soft and hard (e.g. bone) tissue. These systems provide selective tissue disintegration with simultaneous irrigation and aspiration. The modification is intended to provide improved visualization due to the protruded abrasive cutting surface, concomitant with improved relief geometry to enable fine and precise shaving or cutting when fragmenting, emulsifying and aspirating hard tissue. There are two NXT Bone Tips. The Superior Forward Bone Tip has an abrasive surface that is oriented superiorly and distally at the distal end of the tip. The Superior Reverse Bone Tip has an abrasive surface that is oriented superiorly and proximally at the distal end of the tip. The NXT Bone Tips consist of a titanium tip with a titanium nitride coating, silicone flue and an ultem shroud. The NXT Bone Tips will be supplied sterile and are intended for single use.
