The present invention features an ultrasonic surgical system including an ultrasonically vibrating blade, and retractable grasper. The grasper includes a grasping jaw or clamp that is movable, in a direction perpendicular to the primary vibratory mode of the ultrasonic blade element, from an open, extended position to a closed position in which tissue is grasped between the jaw and the vibrating blade, and to a retracted position for storage. The jaw is preferably hinge-actuated.
