New Study Shows Use of Kinamed’s CarboJet® System Yields Increased Bone Cement Penetration in Total Knee Arthroplasty, Even When No Tourniquet Is Used

August 7, 2019

August 7, 2019   Camarillo, California – A new clinical study published in the Journal of Arthroplasty demonstrates that use of the CarboJet CO2 Bone Preparation System from Kinamed Incorporated yields increased bone cement penetration in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), even during tourniquetless surgery in which a thigh tourniquet was not used to control bleeding at any time during the procedure.   As stated in the study, “Tourniquetless TKA is experiencing resurgence in popularity due to potential pain control benefits. Furthermore, optimal cement technique and implant fixation remain paramount to long-term cemented TKA success, as aseptic loosening continues to be... read more...

CarboJet® Employed in Study Showing Tourniquetless Total Knee Arthroplasty Decreases Pain and Opioid Consumption in Women

December 12, 2018

Given the opioid crisis in America, surgical protocols that minimize opioid consumption are highly sought after. A recently published study shows that elimination of the tourniquet during TKA may be one such protocol. CAMARILLO, CALIF. (PRWEB) DECEMBER 11, 2018 A new clinical study published in the Journal of Arthroplasty comparing total knee replacement (TKR) surgery with and without use of the traditional thigh tourniquet demonstrated that female patients in the no-tourniquet group experienced significantly less post-operative pain and consumed fewer opioids as compared to female patients in the tourniquet group. In 2017, there were approximately 50,000 opioid drug overdose deaths in... read more...

Reducing Opiate Use: The Tourniquetless TKA

December 15, 2017

Tourniquetless TKA with CarboJet Reduces Opioid Consumption Orlando, Florida (December 2017) – A new study demonstrates reduced opioid consumption in female patients when a tourniquet was not used in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The study was conducted by R. Michael Meneghini, M.D, of the Indiana University School of Medicine and presented at the 34th Annual Current Concepts in Joint Replacement (CCJR) Winter Meeting. The CarboJet® bone preparation system was used to maximize cement interdigitation in tourniquetless knees. CarboJet has been widely adopted wherever cemented implant fixation is employed, including in tourniquet-free TKA. Tourniquet-free TKA, also referred to as “No Tourniquet... read more...

CarboJet Effective at Removing Immunogenic Marrow Elements from Osteochondral Allografts

October 7, 2016

Naples, Italy (September 2016) – A new study looking at the effects of different bone cleaning techniques on the removal of immunogenic marrow elements from osteochondral allografts was presented at the 13th World Congress of the International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS) by Brian Cole, MD, MBA, and Adam Yanke MD of Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, Illinois. The study compared three treatment arms: A; no lavage, B, saline lavage only; C saline lavage with CarboJet. The results showed that the third arm was significantly more effective at removing marrow debris from osteochondral allografts than saline lavage alone, especially in... read more...
