Product Descriptions

Bayer Pharmaceuticals Corporation Trasylol (aprotinin), manufactured by Bayer, is a broad spectrum, natural protease inhibitor.  Aprotinin through its inhibition of multiple mediators results in the attenuation of the systemic inflammatory response (SIRS), fibrinolysis and thrombin generation. Aprotinin inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokine release and maintains glycoprotein homeostasis. In platelets aprotinin reduces glycoprotein loss (e.g., Gplb, Gpllb/llla), while in granulocytes it prevents the expression of pro-inflammatory adhesive glycoproteins (e.g., CD11b).The effects of aprotinin results in the reduction of the inflammatory response which translates into a decreased need for blood transfusions, reduced bleeding and decreased mediastinal re-exploration for bleeding.

EmCyte Corporation (PPAI) EmCyte Corporation is a biotechnology company that provides state-of-the-art blood component devices. Featured is the GenesisCS Platelet Concentrating System, the New Gold Standard for Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and Autologous Fibrin Glue (AFG) Systems, the Fibriseal Concentrator and the new QuickDRAW delivery system.

Global Blood Resources LLC The Hemobag® is the only autotransfusion product on the market salvaging and concentrating all autologous whole blood fractions and constituents for Cardiac, Thoracic and Vascular Surgery, helping to avoid unnecessary allogeneic blood product use. This technique offers Perfusionists a new role in optimizing hemostasis and homeostasis hours after the termination of surgery. Saving More Blood, Reducing Costs, and Improving Patient Outcomes!

Haemonetics Corporation HAEMONETICS®, the inventor of the Cell Saver® autotransfusion system, and a worldwide leader in blood salvage technology, is pleased to introduce its latest innovations—the Haemonetics cardioPAT™ autotransfusion system and the SmartSuction Harmony powered suction device.   The groundbreaking cardioPAT Cardiovascular Perioperative Autotransfusion System is the first cardiovascular cell salvage device to offer uninterrupted washed red cell salvage in both the operating room and postoperative ICU. Mounted on a standard IV pole, the 20-pound cardioPAT system easily follows the patient from the surgical suite to the PACU, providing high-quality, high-hematocrit autologous red cells for reinfusion. The cardioPAT system is based on the same Dynamic Disk™ technology used in Haemonetics’ OrthoPAT® orthopedic perioperative autotransfusion system, which is designed for the unique needs of the orthopedic patient and surgical team.   The SmartSuction HARMONY™ Powered Suction Device supplies high air flow, self-regulating suction that rapidly removes fluid from the surgical field at low suction levels…bringing “high-tech” to the “no-tech” world of surgical suction. It is designed to work as a companion product to Haemonetics’ family of autotransfusion systems: Cell Saver®, cardioPAT™, and OrthoPAT® systems. It is small, easy to use, and mounts easily onto an IV pole or a Cell Saver system’s cart.

Haemoscope Corporation Haemoscope is the home of the TEG® 5000 (Thrombelastograph®) Hemostasis System.  The state-of-the-art TEG 5000 uses whole blood to provide a complete picture of all phases of a patient’s hemostasis, from initial fibrin formation through clot lysis.  It quantifies hemorrhagic, thrombotic, and fibrinolytic states so you can stratify risk of bleeding and ischemic events and personalize therapies.  By providing individual parameters, as well as the net result of all the interactions of all the components of a patient’s whole blood hemostasis, resulting in reduced use of blood product, reduced re-exploration, reduced costs, and improved clinical outcomes.

Harvest Technologies Corporation Developing Technologies for Accelerating Healing, NaturallyÒ, Harvest manufactures the SmartPRePÒ 2 Platelet Concentrate System.  SmartPReP is the first system designed for rapid, point-of-care preparation of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP).  In minutes, SmartPReP produces a predictable Autologous Platelet Concentrate (APC+Ô) enriched with multiple Growth Factors.  SmartPReP produces viable platelets increased 4X or greater above baseline levels; the clinical requirement needed to accelerate wound healing.  SmartPReP provides the necessary concentrations of platelets, growth factors, and white blood cells vital for initiating and accelerating tissue repair and regeneration.  And SmartPReP’s simple, 1-button operation starts with as little as 20ccs of patient blood.
