Study Summary

The aim of the study is to determine if the use of iv TXA or Aquamantys system improve the postoperative hemoglobin and hematocrit after primary TKA and what is the effect of the simultaneous use of iv TXA and Aquamantys on the postoperative hemoglobin and hematocrit. The assumption is that the combination of iv TXA and Aquamantys system will enable an improvement in the postoperative hemoglobin and hematocrit equal or larger than the improvement generated by the use of Aquamantys system alone.

Primary Outcome

1. Control group- iv placebo normal saline plus regular electrocautery. 2. iv TXA plus regular electrocautery. 3. iv placebo plus Aquamantys system and regular electrocautery. 4. iv TXA and Aquamantys system and regular electrocautery
