Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A waveguide configured for use with an ultrasonic surgical instrument includes an elongated body having a first engagement member at a proximal end thereof. The first engagement member engages the elongated body with an ultrasonic transducer to enable transmission of ultrasonic energy from the ultrasonic transducer along the elongated body. The elongated body being formed from titanium or a titanium alloy. A blade is fixedly engaged to a distal end of the elongated body, and distally extends from the distal end of the elongated body in order to receive ultrasonic energy from the elongated body for treating tissue in contact with the blade. The blade being formed from an amorphous material.
