The Aquamantys® Epidural Vein Sealer

The Aquamantys Epidual Vein Sealer (EVS) is intended to be used in conjunction with the Aquamantys System with Transcollation® technology to simultaneously deliver RF (radiofrequency) and saline for haemostatic sealing of soft tissue and bone at the surgical site. The EVS has an electrode configuration that is designed for safe and precise treatment of epidural veins.*,1 The electrodes are:
  • Miniaturized to fit into small spaces
  • Isolated to protect critical structures and nerves  
  • Flat to easily compress epidural veins.*,1
The bayoneted shaft provides enhanced visualization of the surgical site in minimally invasive procedures.1

Common procedures where this technology is used:

  • Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (PLIF)
  • Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF)
  • Minimally Invasive TLIF
  • Scoliosis Surgery
  • Posterior Cervical Laminectomy and Fusion
