Knee Replacement Procedures

Reduce Bleeding During and After Knee Surgery1


Every day, surgeons use the Aquamantys® System with patented Transcollation® technology - a combination of RF (radiofrequency) energy and saline - to proactively address bleeding in the joint space.

Surgical technique is important to achieve optimal results with Transcollation technology.  Studies have shown the Aquamantys System used in knee replacement procedures provides the following clinical benefits:  
  • Reduces transfusion rates by minimizing intra- and post-operative blood loss1-3
  • May reduce the need for other blood management products during or after the procedure.2-3
  • Reduces post-operative pain and swelling by minimizing the incidence of post-operative hematomas4

Common knee procedures in which the Aquamantys System is used include:

  • Primary Total Knee Replacement
  • Partial Knee Replacement
  • Revision
  • Bilateral
In a prospective survey listing more than 50 patient concerns prior to knee or hip arthroplasty, “pain immediately after surgery” was the most common concern.5 In total knee arthroplasty, post-operative pain can be related to tourniquet usage: patients subjected to a tourniquet experienced significantly more pain than those who went without a tourniquet.7-10

You may help reduce your patients’ post op pain by eliminating or reducing tourniquet use, and utilizing the Aquamantys system to control intraoperative bleeding.1,6
