AQUAMANTYS Innovative
hemostasis solution for
spinal surgery

AQUAMANTYS TECHNOLOGY

Aquamantys bipolar sealers use a combination of radiofrequency (RF) energy and saline, to provide hemostatic sealing of soft tissue and bone during surgery. The Aquamantys is powered by the AEX Generator and operates at approximately 100°C — nearly 200°C less than conventional devices.1  Lower operating temperature allows for the desired tissue effect without the smoke and char found in other methods.

HOW IT WORKS

 

BENEFITS OF USING AQUAMANTYS FOR SPINAL SURGERY

feffe

SHORTER SURGERY TIME

Up to 35% reduction in surgery time.2

feffe

LESS BLOOD LOSS

Up to 57% less blood loss in multi-level spinal fusions.3

feffe

FEWER TRANSFUSIONS

Up to 30% fewer patients transfused in multi-level spinal fusions.3 4 5
