摘要：
An ultrasonic instrument comprises a handle assembly or other kind of body configured to receive an ultrasonic transducer, a shaft assembly having an acoustic waveguide and an ultrasonic blade, and a removable clamp arm. The ultrasonic blade is in acoustic communication with the acoustic waveguide such that the ultrasonic transducer is operable to drive the ultrasonic blade to vibrate ultrasonically via the acoustic waveguide. The clamp arm is configured to selectively couple with and decouple from the shaft assembly and/or handle assembly of the ultrasonic instrument. The clamp arm may include a coupler or other coupling feature configured to selectively couple the clamp arm with the shaft assembly and/or the handle assembly. The ultrasonic instrument may further comprise a guidance system configured to position and/or orient the clamp arm relative to the ultrasonic instrument.
