Brief Summary:
The present prospective, single-center, clinical trial is designed to evaluate the hemostatic efficacy of the hemostatic sealer Aquamantys 6.0™ in patients managed with total hip arthroplasty (THA). It is hypothesized that Aquamantys 6.0™ can improve hemostasis following total hip arthroplasty. Comparison of the functional and clinical results between THA patients having been exposed to Aquamantys 6.0™ versus a control group will be analyzed using several outcome measures including the Harris Hip Score and a pain scale. The primary variable of interest is transfusion requirements - specifically, number of patients managed with blood transfusion during the hospital stay after surgery. However, of secondary interest will be: 1) number of units transfused, 2) estimated intraoperative total blood loss, 3) change in pre- and post-operative hemoglobin levels, 4) total narcotic usage during hospital stay, 5) length of stay, 6) functional and pain outcomes (Harris Hip Score and Pain Scale), and 7) adverse events.
