Medtronic, Inc. (NYSE: MDT) announced today that it has received 510(k) clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the Aquamantys 3 BSC 9.1S Bipolar Sealer with Cutting, a new addition to the orthopaedic portfolio of the company's Advanced Energy business.
The BSC 9.1S Bipolar Sealer with Cutting gives surgeons the ability to optimize efficiency in surgical cases by combining hemostatic sealing capabilities for soft tissue and bone and monopolar cutting functionality in a single device. Like other devices in the Aquamantys line, the BSC 9.1S uses Transcollation technology, a combination of radiofrequency energy and saline that has been shown to reduce blood loss and maintain patient hemoglobin levels when used during orthopaedic procedures. Reductions in blood loss during surgery have been linked to reduced blood transfusion rates and decreased hospital length of stay.
