The ultrasonic treatment apparatus has an ultrasonic probe (6) with the ultrasonic tip (7). The ultrasonic probe (6) is housed in, for slidable movement within, a flexible articulation sheath (70). The flexible articulation sheath (70) is, in turn, housed for slidable movement within, a rigid sheath (80). Rigid sheath (80) is connected to, for movement with, a retracting housing (90). The retracting housing (90). The retracting housing (90) may include an aspiration fitting or luer (13), which is configured for connection with a flexible tube which is in turn connected to a source of reduced pressure. The aspiration fitting or luer (13) is connected to the interior flexible articulation sheath (70). |
