Summary: | Various embodiments described herein are directed to ultrasonic blades. For example, an ultrasonic blade may com-prise a proximally positioned straight section extending along a longitudinal axis and a distally positioned curved section coupled to the straight section and curved away from the longitudinal axis. The curved section may define a radius of curvature and subtend a first angle. A point of tangency between the curved section and the straight section may be positioned at either a node of the ultra -sonic blade or an anti-node of the ultrasonic blade. An embodiment comprises first and second flanges (1042, 1048) positioned at nodes of a waveguide with a control wire (1050) coupled to the flanges. |
