Autologous Cell Salvaging
(Cell Saving)
Autologous cell salvage is a procedure that collects and recycles a patient’s own blood during surgeries or medical procedures where significant blood loss is expected. The process involves using a specialized machine that collects, filters, and concentrates the blood lost during surgery.
The washed blood is then returned to the patient, reducing the need for donor blood transfusions and minimizing the risk of complications. This technique is commonly used in orthopaedic, cardiac, trauma surgeries, vascular, oncology, obstetrics & gynaecology surgeries as well as neurosurgery, providing a safe and effective way to manage blood loss while ensuring that the patient receives their own blood, promoting faster recovery and better outcomes.
