Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to ultrasonic soft tissue cutting or coagulating systems that include an ultrasonic blade member (112) for cutting and/or coagulating tissue, and an opposed clamp member which can be used together with the blade member to compress/clamp the tissue being treated. At least one of the blade member and the clamp member (114) has a substantially curvilinear configuration. This curvilinear configuration can be optimized to improve the coupling of ultrasonic power to the tissue being treated.
