Overview
Aquamantys™ bipolar sealers combine radiofrequency (RF) energy and saline to provide hemostatic sealing of soft tissue and bone without the smoke or char found in other methods. The combination of RF energy and saline allows the device to operate at approximately 100˚C — nearly 200˚C less than traditional electrosurgical devices.1
Aquamantys™
Aquamantys™ bipolar sealers harness proprietary technology to provide hemostatic sealing of soft tissue and bone during a variety of surgical procedures, including total knee arthroplasty, total hip arthroplasty, spine surgery, orthopedic trauma cases and surgical oncology procedures.

Product detail
Achieving hemostatis
The Transcollation effect - transforming collagen
- RF energy and saline are applied to tissue, generating heat.
- Heat-induced collagen shrinkage occurs, mantaining temperature at ~100ºC.
- Vessels ˂1 mm may be occluded, reducing bleeding.
Observed benefits
Less
blood loss
Up to 57% less blood loss6 = Decreased complications and reduced post-operative morbidity
Reduction in
transfusion rates
Up to 58% reduction in transfusion rates7= Reduced length of hospital stay (LOS)
Reduction in surgery time
Up to 35% reduction in surgery time8 = Up to 17 minutes per level fused.
Save
hospital costs
Thanks to the improved operative efficiency
