Medtronic 23-313-1 Aquamantys 9.5XL Bipolar Sealer (x)

This advanced bipolar sealer combines radiofrequency energy and saline irrigation to reduce blood loss, enhance visualization, and promote faster tissue healing. The Aquamantys 9.5XL is commonly used in orthopedic, spine, and trauma surgeries, where efficient bleeding control and tissue management are critical.

Key Features

Bipolar Sealing Technology: The Aquamantys 9.5XL utilizes advanced bipolar technology to deliver radiofrequency (RF) energy directly to the tissue. This technology ensures precise and controlled tissue sealing, minimizing collateral damage to surrounding tissues. The bipolar nature of the device allows energy to flow between the two tips of the sealer, reducing the risk of unintended tissue damage and improving surgical outcomes.

Integrated Saline Irrigation: The unique feature of the Aquamantys 9.5XL is its integrated saline irrigation system. The device delivers a continuous flow of saline to the tissue during sealing, which helps cool the tissue and prevent charring. This cooling effect improves the overall quality of the seal, reduces the risk of thermal injury, and promotes better tissue healing post-operatively. The saline irrigation also helps to clear the surgical field, enhancing visibility for the surgeon.

9.5cm Extended Shaft: The Aquamantys 9.5XL features an extended shaft that measures 9.5 cm, providing surgeons with greater reach and flexibility during complex procedures. The longer shaft allows for easier access to deep or hard-to-reach areas, making it ideal for spine and orthopedic surgeries, where precision in tissue sealing is essential. The extended length ensures the surgeon can maintain control and accuracy while navigating intricate anatomical structures.

Efficient Hemostasis: One of the primary benefits of the Aquamantys 9.5XL Bipolar Sealer is its ability to provide rapid and effective hemostasis. By sealing blood vessels and soft tissues during surgery, the device reduces blood loss, which is critical for patient safety and surgical efficiency. The ability to control bleeding effectively contributes to shorter operative times, reduced need for transfusions, and improved patient outcomes.

Minimized Thermal Spread: The combination of RF energy and saline irrigation in the Aquamantys 9.5XL helps to minimize thermal spread, reducing the risk of damage to surrounding tissues. This controlled energy application makes the device safer to use near delicate structures, such as nerves or important blood vessels, and improves overall surgical precision. This feature is particularly important in surgeries where tissue preservation is essential.

Versatile Application: The Aquamantys 9.5XL is designed for use in a variety of surgical settings, including orthopedic, trauma, spine, and joint replacement procedures. Its versatility makes it an invaluable tool for surgeons seeking reliable and efficient hemostasis across a wide range of cases. The device is particularly well-suited for procedures involving large surface areas or dense tissues, where controlling blood loss is crucial.

Ergonomic Design: The device is designed with the surgeon's comfort in mind. The ergonomic handle and intuitive controls make the Aquamantys 9.5XL easy to use, reducing hand fatigue during lengthy procedures. The device’s lightweight and balanced construction ensure that it can be operated with precision and ease, even in complex surgical scenarios.

Single-Use, Sterile: The Aquamantys 9.5XL is a single-use device, ensuring that each patient receives a sterile instrument for their procedure. The single-use design eliminates the risk of cross-contamination, enhancing patient safety and simplifying the logistics of sterilization for the surgical team. It also guarantees that each surgery is performed with a high-quality, fully functional device.

Applications

Orthopedic Surgery: Especially useful in joint replacement and fracture fixation surgeries where efficient tissue sealing and blood loss control are vital.
Spine Surgery: Ideal for controlling bleeding and sealing tissues in complex spine procedures where access to deep tissues is required.
Trauma Surgery: Effective in trauma cases to manage extensive bleeding and improve visibility during the surgical repair of injuries.
Soft Tissue and Vascular Procedures: Suitable for sealing blood vessels and soft tissues in a variety of general and specialized surgeries.

Benefits:

Reduces Blood Loss: Minimizes intraoperative bleeding, reducing the need for blood transfusions and improving surgical outcomes.
Enhances Visualization: Saline irrigation clears the surgical field, allowing for better visibility and more precise tissue management.
Promotes Faster Healing: By sealing tissues with minimal thermal damage, the Aquamantys 9.5XL supports faster recovery and improved tissue healing.
Increases Surgical Efficiency: Quick and efficient hemostasis reduces operative time and enhances overall procedural efficiency.

The Medtronic 23-313-1 Aquamantys 9.5XL Bipolar Sealer is an innovative, reliable tool for surgeons seeking effective hemostasis and tissue sealing in complex surgical procedures. Its combination of bipolar RF energy and integrated saline irrigation ensures precise, controlled sealing with minimal thermal damage, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of surgical applications. With its extended shaft, ergonomic design, and sterile, single-use construction, the Aquamantys 9.5XL is a valuable asset in promoting surgical efficiency and patient safety.
