HARMONIC™ HP054 – The grey ultrasonic handpiece that is revolutionising modern surgery
The HARMONIC™ HP054 grey ultrasonic handpiece developed by Ethicon, a division of Johnson & Johnson, raises the bar for energy-based surgical instruments. Designed to offer an optimal combination of cutting performance, haemostatic control and tissue safety, it is the result of decades of innovation in the field of energy in the operating theatre. Used in both open and laparoscopic surgery, the HP054 has become the benchmark for precision, manoeuvrability and reliability for practitioners.
The major advantage of this handpiece lies in its ultrasonic technology, which delivers high-frequency (non-thermal) vibrational energy that cuts tissue and coagulates it almost instantly. Unlike conventional electrosurgical devices, ultrasonic energy limits heat diffusion, thereby preserving sensitive neighbouring structures. This mode of action is made possible by Adaptive Tissue Technology, which adjusts the power delivered in real time according to the density and type of tissue encountered.
Compatible with the GEN11 generator, the HP054 is integrated into a complete ecosystem of HARMONIC™ and ENSEAL™ instruments, allowing maximum versatility in modern operating theatres. Its universal compatibility with HARMONIC™ HAR23, HAR36, HARH23, HARH36, HARH45, HAR9F and HAR17F instruments, as well as with ENSEAL™ devices (SNGCB, SNGHK, SNGHK2), ensures immediate adaptability to the nature of the procedure. The surgeon benefits from intuitive tactile feedback, which is essential for precisely controlling the force applied during dissection or ligation.
The ergonomics of the HP054 handpiece have also been designed to meet the demands of everyday surgery: its balanced weight, compact size and easy connection to the generator allow for immediate handling, reducing operator fatigue during prolonged procedures. Every design detail meets a clinical requirement: to provide a reliable, fast and intuitive instrument.
By choosing the HP054, surgical teams are choosing a state-of-the-art device that increases precision, reduces operating times, limits blood loss and improves the overall patient experience. This level of excellence makes the HARMONIC™ HP054 much more than just an instrument: it becomes a true surgical partner.
