Zusammenfassung:A multifunctional handpiece includes a main body provided with a proximal opening for the entry of a power supply and control cable, with control assembly, and with a distal opening for the connection of a stem; the handpiece further includes: at least one temperature sensor, arranged inside the body and a cable made of electrically conducting material; at least one ultrasound transducer connected to a sonotrode rigidly coupled to the stem. The stem is at least partially electrically conducting and includes, on a proximal part of the external surface, a cladding made of an electrically insulating material, and accommodates within its internal cavity the cable. A distal portion of the stem, without external cladding, is adapted for the transfer of radiofrequency energy to the tissues of a patient against which it is juxtaposed: the energy is adjusted by the external control and management unit electrically connected to the stem.
