An ultrasonic surgical instrument includes a reusable handle assembly and a removable and disposable shaft assembly. The handle assembly includes a trigger, a housing having a distal aperture formed in a distal end of the housing, and a drive member in communication with the trigger to actuate the drive member. The shaft assembly includes a proximal shaft portion, a rotator knob having a coupling feature, a transmission assembly extending distally from the proximal shaft portion, and an end effector coupled to the distal end of the transmission assembly. The drive member of the handle assembly is removably coupled to the proximal shaft portion of the shaft assembly. Another version includes a drive member of the handle assembly configured to removably engage a proximal shaft portion of the shaft assembly via a biasing member. Another version includes a waveguide of the transmission assembly non-threadably coupled to a transducer.

1. A surgical instrument comprising: (a) a handle assembly comprising: i. a trigger,ii. a housing having a distal aperture formed in a distal end of the housing, andiv. a drive member in communication with the trigger such that actuation of the trigger is configured to actuate the drive member in a
1. A surgical instrument comprising: (a) a handle assembly comprising: i. a trigger,ii. a housing having a distal aperture formed in a distal end of the housing, andiv. a drive member in communication with the trigger such that actuation of the trigger is configured to actuate the drive member in a first direction; and(b) a transmission assembly comprising: i. a proximal shaft portion received within the distal aperture,ii. a rotator knob, the rotator knob having a proximal portion and a distal portion, the proximal portion received within the distal aperture, and the distal portion projecting distally from distal end of the housing, the proximal portion having a coupling feature configured to removably couple the rotator knob relative to the housing, wherein the coupling feature is further configured to uncouple the rotator knob relative to the housing such that the proximal portion of the rotator knob is configured to be removed distally from the distal aperture of the housing,iii. a distal shaft assembly extending distally relative to the rotator knob, andiv. an end effector coupled to a distal end of the distal shaft assembly;wherein the drive member of the handle assembly is removably coupled to the proximal shaft portion of the transmission assembly, and wherein the proximal shaft portion of the transmission assembly is configured to be removed distally from the distal aperture of the housing. 2. The surgical instrument of claim 1, wherein the coupling feature on the proximal portion of the rotator knob includes tabs configured to abut ledges defining a portion of the distal aperture of the housing when the transmission assembly is removably coupled to the handle assembly. 3. The surgical instrument of claim 2, wherein the tabs are resiliently biased to abut the ledges. 4. The surgical instrument of claim 1, wherein the proximal shaft includes a spring disposed on the proximal shaft portion. 5. The surgical instrument of claim 4, wherein when the drive member is removably coupled to the proximal shaft portion, wherein the trigger is operable to move the drive member distally from a first position to a second position to compress the spring in the second position. 6. The surgical instrument of claim 5, wherein the trigger is further operable to release the spring, releasing a biasing force to move the drive member proximally back to the first position. 7. The surgical instrument of claim 1, further comprising a spring disposed on the proximal shaft portion and a retention ring configured to be disposed within a groove defined in the proximal shaft portion. 8. The surgical instrument of claim 7, wherein the drive member includes a recessed groove defined within internal walls defining a recessed space. 9. The surgical instrument of claim 8, wherein the proximal shaft portion is configured to be received in the recessed space of the drive member. 10. The surgical instrument of claim 9, wherein when the proximal shaft portion is received in the recessed space of the drive member, wherein the retention ring is configured to compress against the internal walls defining the recessed space until eventual receipt into the recessed groove. 11. The surgical instrument of claim 1, wherein the proximal shaft portion includes a spring disposed on the proximal shaft portion and a resiliently biased clamping component. 12. The surgical instrument of claim 11, wherein the resiliently biased clamping component includes retention arms having end wedges configured to be disposed within a groove defined the drive member. 13. The surgical instrument of claim 12, wherein the end wedges are resiliently biased outward. 14. The surgical instrument of claim 12, wherein when the rotator knob is directed proximally into the distal aperture, wherein the proximal portion of the rotator knob is configured to grip the retention arms of the clamping component and compress the retention arms inwardly until the end wedges of the retention arms are disposed within the groove of the drive member. 15. The surgical instrument of claim 14, wherein the rotator is removable and is configured to be directed distally when the end wedges are disposed within the groove of the drive member such that the proximal portion of the rotator releases the retention arms of the clamping component to allow the retention arms to return to a resiliently biased outward position. 16. A surgical instrument comprising: (a) a handle assembly comprising: i. a trigger,ii. a housing having a distal aperture formed in a distal end of the housing,iii. a drive member disposed within the housing, wherein the drive member is in communication with the trigger, andiv. a biasing member; and(b) a transmission assembly comprising: i. a proximal shaft portion received within the distal aperture,ii. a distal shaft assembly extending distally from the proximal shaft portion, the distal shaft assembly comprising an inner tube; andiii. an end effector coupled to a distal end of the distal shaft assembly;wherein the drive member is configured to removably engage the proximal shaft portion of the transmission assembly via the biasing member, and wherein the proximal shaft portion of the transmission assembly is configured to be removed distally from the distal aperture of the housing. 17. The surgical instrument of claim 16, wherein the biasing member comprises spring loaded ball bearings disposed on a yoke communicating with the drive member and the trigger, and wherein the spring loaded ball bearings are configured for attachment to a notch in the proximal shaft portion; andwherein a standoff yoke surface is disposed within the yoke, wherein the standoff yoke surface defines an aperture, wherein the aperture is sized to receive a waveguide of the transmission assembly, wherein the standoff yoke surface is disposed to sit flush against a proximal end of the transmission assembly from which the waveguide extends when the drive member is engaged to the transmission assembly such that the standoff yoke surface provides for a high distal pushing force and a corresponding low proximal pulling force against the engaged transmission assembly. 18. The surgical instrument of claim 16, wherein the proximal shaft portion comprises a portion of an inner tube of the transmission assembly, wherein the biasing member comprises ball bearings disposed on the drive member, and wherein the ball bearings are configured for attachment to respective notches in the inner tube. 19. A surgical instrument comprising: (a) a handle assembly comprising: i. a trigger,ii. a housing having a distal aperture formed in a distal end of the housing, andiv. a drive member in communication with the trigger such that actuation of the trigger is configured to actuate the drive member in a first direction; and(b) a transmission assembly comprising: i. a proximal shaft portion,ii. a rotator knob, the rotator knob having a proximal portion, the proximal portion having a coupling feature,iii. a distal shaft assembly extending distally relative to the rotator knob, andiv. an end effector coupled to a distal end of the distal shaft assembly;wherein the drive member of the handle assembly is removably coupled to the proximal shaft portion of the transmission assembly,wherein the coupling feature on the proximal portion of the rotator knob includes tabs configured to abut ledges defining a portion of the distal aperture of the housing when the transmission assembly is removably coupled to the handle assembly. 20. The surgical instrument of claim 19, wherein the tabs are resiliently biased to abut the ledges.
