Participants

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

TKA with the Aquamantys for hemostasis

This arm will receive the total knee arthroplasty with the Aquamantys device used for hemostasis.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Aquamantys Device

Intervention Type DEVICE

The Aquamantys is used for hemostasis in patients randomized to receive total knee arthroplasty with the device.

TKA without the Aquamantys for hemostasis

This group will receive total knee arthroplasty using the standard treatment for hemostasis.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Standard of care treatment for hemostasis during a total knee arthroplasty.

Intervention Type OTHER

The active comparator arm will receive the "standard-of-care" for hemostasis during total knee arthroplasty. This is achieved with a unipolar Bovie electrocauterization device.
