Hemo Concepts provides unparalleled educational resources and organizational expertise to empower physicians and hospitals undertaking the transition to integrated blood conservation. Our goal is to improve patient care, lower costs and reduce risks.

Transfusion Alternatives:

Integrated Blood Conservation, or Bloodless Medicine & Surgery (BMS), greatly reduces the need for donor blood transfusions using blood conservation protocols, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and/or blood salvage techniques.

Blood conservation techniques were developed over the years in response to concerns about the safety of the nation's blood supply. Time has shown that these techniques hasten the recovery process. They can also shorten length of stay, reduce risk of infection and ultimately reduce healthcare costs. Today blood conservation and BMS are an accepted modern medical specialty.

Blood conservation can also become an important ingredient in hospital disaster preparedness. Knowledge of blood conservation protocols will help conserve blood in times of crisis and preserve a hospital's ability to continue both critical and elective surgery as appropriate.

Wherever you provide care, ITC is there—from the hospital to the physician’s office to the patient’s home. ITC introduced point-of care testing, and today, we’re focused exclusively on a full continuum of bedside instruments for coagulation, blood gas, electrolytes, hemoglobin testing, oximetry and co-oximetry. That’s why clinicians trust our expertise backed by comprehensive training and support. Our fast, accurate, self-contained testing means you can make informed, immediate decisions. Because the closer the care, the greater the insight, the better the outcome.
