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.
