As shown in FIG. 2, the horn 1 for hard tissue or the horn 15 for soft tissue can be arbitrarily attached to the handpiece body 16, and the tip of the handpiece body 16 is provided with a horn for hard tissue. A screw hole 17 into which the horn 1 or the soft tissue horn 15 is screwed is formed. Then, the base ends 1a, 15a of the horn 1 for hard tissue and the horn 15 for soft tissue.
The screw 18 for screwing with the screw hole 17 of the handpiece body 16 is engraved on the
A flange 19 and a 7 mm hexagonal portion 20 are integrally formed. This allows the surgeon to replace only the horn, and saves the trouble of switching between the hard tissue handpiece and the soft tissue handpiece.

The horn 1 is, as shown in FIG.
A 2 mm long hole 23 is formed from the base end 1a to the center of the horn body 1b, so that the horn 1 has a pipe shape, and does not significantly reduce the rigidity in the axial direction as compared with the conventional example. Can be reduced.

FIG. 3 shows the configuration of the reference example.
In this embodiment, a communication hole 30 having a small diameter communicating with the elongated hole 23 is formed in the axial direction. Here, although the distal end portion has the communication hole 30, the diameter thereof is smaller than that of the elongated hole 23,
It has a thick structure. Therefore, in this reference example, the perfusate can be caused to flow forward through the long hole 23 and the communication hole 30. At the same time, it is <br/> with this to obtain an internal cooling effect.

Therefore, in this reference example, the perfusate can be supplied to the vicinity of the cutting edge via the elongated hole 23 and the lateral hole 32. In addition, since the side hole 32 is formed in the side surface of the horn and is not formed at the tip of the cutting edge, when crushing and cutting is performed, the tip of the cutting edge does not catch on hard tissue, and smooth cutting can be performed.

【0024】なお、長穴23内で灌流液を循環させるよ
