ProCell™ facilitates the extraction of blood from surgical sponges as a preliminary stepin the process of cell- salvage/intra-operative autotransfusion (IAT).ProCell™ functions as a blood collection device only and does not filter or otherwiseprocess the blood recovered. As an accessory to IAT, it is used in conjunction withstandard cell-salvage equipment which must process the blood retrieved from ProCell™prior to re-infusion into the patient.Designed for ease-of-use directly on the surgical instrument table, the disposableProCell™ can be used repeatedly during a surgical case and provides an alternative toother sponge-blood recovery methods including hand-wringing.
A simple blood collection container used for the collection of autologous blood from a patient undergoing major surgery. The blood is then cleansed in a line-powered (AC-powered) blood-processing autotransfusion system (commonly known as a cell saver) before the red cells are reinfused into the patient, or stored for later use. It is made of disposable plastic materials. This is a single-use device.
