Services
Autotransfusion (cell salvage) services
On-site intraoperative cell salvage to collect, process, and reinfuse autologous red blood cells to reduce allogeneic transfusion requirements.
Platelet-rich plasma / platelet gel therapy
Preparation and topical application of autologous platelet concentrates and platelet gel to support tissue and bone healing in surgical and wound-care contexts; internal and cited literature discuss potential antimicrobial properties of platelet-derived products.
Blood management program consulting and implementation
Consulting and program development to create hospital-wide blood management strategies, including multidisciplinary coordination, protocol development, staff education, and accreditation alignment.
Acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) services
Implementation of ANH protocols including assessment of removable blood volume, selection of volume expanders, and reinfusion timing to conserve red blood cells intraoperatively.
Intraoperative concentration of autologous cell fractions
Centrifugation and concentration of harvested bone marrow or other autologous tissues to produce cell-enriched fractions for intraoperative implantation to support repair and regeneration.
Emergency/on-call cell salvage and perfusion coverage
Rapid-response cell salvage and perfusion staffing for unscheduled or emergency surgical procedures, with equipment and personnel mobilization.
