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.

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.
