Transcollation ® Technology
for Surgical Oncology
Medtronic’s advanced energy devices use patented Transcollation technology – a combination of radiofrequency (RF)
energy and saline – to provide hemostatic sealing of soft tissue and bone during surgery. When used during surgical
oncology procedures, monopolar sealers and Aquamantys® bipolar sealers provide benefits for surgeons and their
patients by minimizing intra-operative blood loss, resulting in reduced transfusion rates. 1-3
CLINICAL BENEFITS OF TRANSCOLLATION TECHNOLOGY
• Reduces transfusion rates by minimizing intra-operative blood loss 1-3
• Reduced transfusion rates contribute to reduced hospital length of stay 4,5
• May reduce post-operative pancreatic leaks following distal pancreatectomy 6,7
• Reduces the need for renal vascular clamping in partial nephrectomies 8
SURGICAL APPLICATIONS
• Liver resection
• Pancreatectomy
• Partial nephrectomy

TRANSCOLLATION ® TECHNOLOGY FOR SURGICAL ONCOLOGY
Transcollation® Technology
Transcollation technology combines radiofrequency (RF)
energy and saline for hemostatic sealing of soft tissue
and bone at the surgical site. Vessels up to 1 mm may
be occluded, reducing bleeding.
Aquamantys® System
The Aquamantys System delivers Transcollation
technology through a proprietary RF generator and a
single-use disposable bipolar sealer.
