Stevenson J, Lucas M
Ultrasonics . 2025 Jan; 149:107587. PMID: 39884107
A new focussed ultrasound surgery (FUS) transducer for soft tissue ablation is proposed, with a miniaturised configuration that can be readily integrated with a surgical robot. The transducer fills a...

Nat Commun . 2024 Aug; 15(1):7240. PMID: 39174553
Previous studies have linked the evolution of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) genetic variants to persistent infections in people with immunocompromising conditions, but the processes responsible for these observations...

Al-Namnam N, Luczak A, Yang I, Li X, Lucas M, Hall A, et al.
Osteoarthr Cartil Open . 2024 Jul; 6(3):100499. PMID: 39076683
Objectives: Ultrasonic (US) cutting of cartilage in orthopaedic surgery has received little attention despite its potential to reduce chondrocyte death which could enhance cartilage repair. We aimed to investigate whether...

Li X, Giuseppe Fenu N, Giles-Donovan N, Cochran S, Lucas M
Ultrasonics . 2024 Feb; 138:107257. PMID: 38335919
Mn:PIN-PMN-PT piezocrystal is investigated to determine whether its enhanced energy density makes it a candidate transducer material for power ultrasonics applications. To this end, the electromechanical and vibrational characteristics of...

Yao G, Wu F, Lucas M, Zheng L, Wang C, Gu H
Ultrasonics . 2023 Jul; 135:107113. PMID: 37517346
Electrosurgical devices are widely used for tissue cutting and hemostasis in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for their high precision and low trauma. However, tissue adhesion and the resulting thermal injury...

Gupta D, Savva J, Li X, Chandler J, Shelton R, Scheven B, et al.
Ultrasound Med Biol . 2022 Jun; 48(9):1745-1761. PMID: 35760602
Ultrasound accelerates healing in fractured bone; however, the mechanisms responsible are poorly understood. Experimental setups and ultrasound exposures vary or are not adequately characterized across studies, resulting in inter-study variation...

Cleary R, Wallace R, Simpson H, Kontorinis G, Lucas M
Ultrasonics . 2022 May; 124:106756. PMID: 35597040
This work presents a longitudinal-torsional (L-T) composite mode ultrasonic needle device for deep bone penetration. The L-T needle is a geometrically modified version of an L-mode needle whose efficacy as...

Cleary R, Li X, Lucas M
J Acoust Soc Am . 2021 Oct; 150(3):2163. PMID: 34598605
Additive manufacturing (AM) offers opportunities to design more complex shapes of the Ti-6Al-4V parts commonly used in high-power ultrasonic surgical devices. Moreover, AM metal printing will be essential to the...
