Versajet System
The Versajet system consists of console and a single use disposable handpiece. The console pressurises saline and causes a very fine jet of fluid to be shot across an aperture at the tip of the handpiece. The speed of the jet creates a localised vacuum utilising the Venturi effect, the vacuum lifts the non-viable tissue into the path of the jet, which ablates the tissue and carries the debris away into a collection canister.
