RESULTS

The blood recovered via ProCell® had a 33.3% reduced amount of plasma free hemoglobin and 5.5% reduced amount of heptaglobin when compared to the hand-wrung blood.

"ProCell® is a simple device that causes less damage to blood cells and makes it easier for nurses to focus on other aspects of surgery. We're hopeful the implementation of ProCell® leads to fewer blood transfusions, and more importantly, better patient care."
