HEMAsavR Helps to Recover More Intraop Blood

Ecomed Solutions, out of Mundelein, Illinois, is releasing its HEMAsavR device for blood capture and transfer during surgeries. The product helps to avoid allogeneic blood transfusions by not requiring specialized resources for collection and return to patient. Hospitals will therefore be able to gather more useful sterile and anti-coagulated blood that can be evaluated for cell salvage and for return.

“Allogeneic transfusions are among the costliest contributors to healthcare expenditures,” in a published statement said David Yurek, CEO of Ecomed Solutions. “Reducing the need for allogeneic transfusions has a dramatic impact on healthcare costs and patient outcomes. Further, as our healthcare system is strained by shrinking donor pools, HEMAsavR can reduce that burden and improve care by providing a patient’s own blood back to them.”

The HEMAsavR is a closed and sterlie system that works with all surgical suction and autotransfusion systems, and clinicians should have no problem integrating it into existing workflows.
