This requirement is to provide INTEGRA LIFESCIENCES CUSA EXCEL PLUS ULTRASONIC TISSUE ABILATION SURGICAL SYSTEM, the only system with ultrasound and monopolar cautery.

The CUSA excel also has tissue release function which helps prevent inadvertent traction on sensitive tissue. The Integra Lifesciences CUSA excel is an exact match to Richmond's existing system.
