ProCell™ is a sterile, compact and disposable medical device that comes fully assembled right out of the box. And, with only three components, there are no small pieces to count.

To operate ProCell™, place the surgical sponges inside the open basket and put the lid back on top. Once you attach the vacuum suction tubing (readily available at every operating room table), the lid is automatically deployed in a downward direction which effectively extracts the blood. The collected blood is now ready to be sent back to the IAT equipment for processing. Detach the suction tubing, remove the lid and basket, and suction the blood from the reservoir using the separate IAT-connected suction tubing and cannula.

ProCell™ is specifically engineered to achieve its performance objectives while maintaining operational simplicity and convenience.

ProCell™ does not filter or otherwise process the blood collected in any way.  Serving as an innovative sponge-blood collection device only, ProCell™ must be used in conjunction with a hospital's IAT equipment.

In those surgical cases where the intention is to capture and reinfuse a patient's own shed blood, specialized equipment is required. This equipment, otherwise known as IAT, is situated beside the operating room table. It is designed to collect, filter and process the patient’s blood prior to it being reinfused during that same surgery. Sterile, disposable IAT-connected tubing is opened for each case and creates the circuit to directly transfer recovered blood back to the IAT equipment.

ProCell™ can be used up to 50 times during a single surgical case. It cannot be reprocessed.
