Influence of application parameters of ultrasonic-assisted bone instruments on the tear force of a substitute material for spinal dura mater

An ultrasonic-assisted bone instrument can be used for the dissection of bone in spinal surgery. During surgery, the tip of such a bone instrument can touch spinal dura mater. Especially during critical re-operations, high forces can be unintentionally applied on spinal dura mater. To prevent dural...
