direct anterior total hip arthroplasty
EASIER. BETTER. FASTER.*
Aquamantys™ bipolar sealers combine radiofrequency energy with saline to produce high-integrity hemostatic sealing of soft tissue and bone in orthopedic procedures.
Operating at almost 200° C less than traditional electrosurgery, Aquamantys™ devices produce nearly negligible smoke and have an increased depth of effect with less surface coagulum and char.1-3
