The system provides selective tissue disintegration with simultaneous irrigation and aspiration. The system has been designed for use by surgeons in the areas of neurosurgery and gastroenterology including laparoscopic procedures. Its use in other procedures is regarded as experimental and is thus subjecto to appropriate local regulatory approval
