Aquamantys™

Aquamantys™ bipolar sealers use proprietary Transcollation™ technology, combining radiofrequency (RF) energy and saline to provide haemostatic 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. By controlling bleeding, Aquamantys™ has been shown to significantly reduce the incidence of haematoma and reduce surgical time in a variety of procedures, and may reduce the need for haemostatic agents.[1-5]

Achieving Haemostasis

These illustrations show how Aquamantys™ bipolar sealers achieve haemostasis with heat-induced collagen shrinkage in blood vessel walls.

1. RF energy and saline are applied to tissue.

2. Heat-induced collagen shrinkage occurs.

3. Vessels <1 mm may be occluded.

Benefits

Economic

Reduces transfusion rates which may lower costs to the hospital[3,4]
Decreases surgical time[5,6]
May reduce the need for other haemostatic agents[1]

Patient

May decrease complications and reduce post-operative patient morbidity[7]
Helps to maintain haemoglobin levels[8]
Reduces transfusion rates which may contribute to reduced hospital length of stay[3,4]

Intra-operative

May reduce exposure to surgical smoke for surgeons and operating room staff[9]
Improved visualization of the surgical site[10]
Significantly reduced total blood loss compared to traditional electrosurgery[2]
