Bipolar Sealers

Aquamantys Generator

The Aquamantys System consists of a proprietary radiofrequency (RF) generator that delivers Transcollation technology to disposable Aquamantys bipolar sealers.

Features of the Aquamantys Generator include:

• Simultaneous RF power and saline delivery
• Power settings from 20–200 watts
• Automatic settings for saline flow rate based on power setting
• Ability to select three different flow rate settings
• Convenient priming mode

Only disposable devices and accessories specifically recommended by Medtronic Advanced Energy may be used with Aquamantys generators.

SBS 5.0 Sheathed Bipolar Sealer

The SBS 5.0 Sheathed Bipolar Sealer with retractable sheath for use near sensitive tissue

Managing both cut muscle and epidural bleeding may require the use of multiple devices/modalities. The Aquamantys SBS 5.0 Sheathed Bipolar Sealer was designed to optimize speed and continuity of surgical cases by treating both of these needs with one device.

• Delivers Transcollation technology, which has been shown to reduce blood loss during spine surgery¹
• Flat-tipped electrodes allow for compression of epidural veins
• Retractable sheath enables simultaneous retraction and electrode use near sensitive tissue such as dura and nerve roots (sheath closed) and hemostatic sealing of soft tissue and bone (sheath open)

Clinical Benefits

Transcollation technology provides the following clinical benefits when used during spinal surgery:

• Decreases blood loss per level fused¹
• May help improve visibility in the surgical field^2,3
• Prevents and stops epidural bleeding near critical structures³
• Decreases surgical time²

Surgical Applications

The Aquamantys SBS 5.0 Sheathed Bipolar Sealer is commonly used in open or MIS 1- or 2-level instrumented fusions.

Mini EVS 3.4 Epidural Vein Sealer

The Mini EVS has a 3.4 mm tip for small epidural access points

Bleeding in the epidural space can compromise visibility and add frustration to an otherwise predictable case. Like the Epidural Vein Sealer, the Aquamantys Mini EVS 3.4 is an innovative handpiece that addresses this challenge.

Designed to optimize visibility and control epidural bleeding, the Aquamantys Mini EVS 3.4 enables you to prophylactically compress and treat epidural veins before they begin to bleed.

• Delivers Transcollation technology, which has been shown to reduce blood loss during spine surgery¹
• Insulated shaft enables simultaneous retraction and electrode use near sensitive tissue such as dura and nerve roots
• 3.4 mm tip size accommodates small epidural access points

Clinical Benefits

Transcollation technology provides the following clinical benefits when used during spine surgery:

• Prevents and stops epidural bleeding near critical structures²
• May help improve visibility in the surgical field^1,2
• Decreases surgical time¹
• Decreases blood loss per level fused³

Surgical Applications

• Decompression procedures (discectomy, laminectomy, and others)
• Procedures requiring access to the epidural space (PLIF, TLIF, PCDF, and others)

• Dual electrode configuration enables painting motion to provide hemostatic sealing across broad planes of tissue
• Bipolar technology alleviates need for grounding pad

Clinical Benefits

Transcollation technology provides the following clinical benefits when used during spinal surgery:

• Decreases blood loss per level fused¹
• May help improve visibility in the surgical field^2,3
• Decreases surgical time³

Surgical Applications
