Evidence-based advantages that improve patient outcomes and enhance surgical safety through proven clinical benefits and superior patient care.
Intraoperative Cell Salvage represents a paradigm shift in surgical blood management, offering clinically proven benefits that extend far beyond simple blood conservation.
From eliminating transfusion reactions to accelerating patient recovery, ICS technology addresses the most critical challenges facing modern surgical practice while maintaining the highest standards of patient care.
The clinical advantages of cell salvage extend across multiple domains of patient care, creating measurable improvements in safety, outcomes, and resource utilization that benefit both patients and healthcare systems.
Complete elimination of transfusion reactions and disease transmission
50% faster recovery times with improved patient satisfaction
Enhanced bed turnover and reduced healthcare costs
Superior patient outcomes across all surgical specialties
Evidence-based advantages that transform patient care and surgical outcomes through proven clinical benefits and superior patient safety profiles.
Perfect compatibility with zero incompatibility risk, no allergic reactions, and immediate availability of fresh, warm autologous blood.
Acceptable to Jehovah's Witnesses through continuous circuit principle, with no external storage, respecting religious beliefs and expanding treatment options.
Patients experience 2-3 days earlier discharge, faster mobilization, improved bed turnover, and enhanced satisfaction with quicker return to normal life.
Complete elimination of blood-borne pathogen risks including HIV, Hepatitis B/C, prion diseases, and protection against future unknown pathogens.
60% reduction in infections with no immunosuppressive effects, enhanced wound healing, and improved survival rates.
Perfect for patients with multiple alloantibodies, rare blood types, emergency situations, and massive transfusion requirements.
Comprehensive safety advantages that reduce complications and improve surgical outcomes through evidence-based clinical benefits and superior safety mechanisms.
Allogeneic blood transfusions cause immunosuppression that increases infection risk. Cell salvage preserves the patient's immune function, significantly reducing post-operative infections and enhancing wound healing capacity.
Fresh autologous blood maintains optimal platelet function and coagulation factors, providing superior hemostatic capability compared to stored allogeneic blood with depleted coagulation factors.
Cell salvage delivers blood at optimal temperature and pH, avoiding the metabolic complications associated with cold, acidotic stored blood that can compromise patient recovery and surgical outcomes.
