In the healthcare, blood transfusion plays an important role.
Blood
transfusion is a medical procedure that involves the administration of blood
and blood components to patients in order to replace blood components that have
been lost. Blood transfusion is performed by inserting a venous access device
and catheter into a peripheral or central vein, or bypassing blood or blood
components through an infusion pump or apheresis systems. Blood transfusion has
a wide range of applications in the treatment of medical conditions such as
blood cancers. It is also used to replace blood lost during surgical
procedures, hemodialysis, cancer treatment, and accident blood loss.
Intravenous infusion pumps, apheresis systems, infusion filters, venous access
devices, and blood warmers are examples of blood transfusion devices.
What is the
equipment used in a blood transfusion?
Blood components can be transfused using
infusion devices (i.e. infusion pumps, rapid infusers, blood warmers, and
pressure devices). Infusion pumps that use pressure. For the rapid
administration of blood components, a pressure infusion device may be used.
The
global blood
transfusion devices can be divided into product, application, end-user,
and geography segments. The global market can be divided into several product
categories, including apheresis systems, infusion devices, blood warmers,
venous access devices, filters, and others. An apheresis system collects whole
blood from a donor and separates it into various components such as plasma,
platelets, red blood cells, and white blood cells. Following the separation of
the whole blood, the apheresis system transfuses the desired component to the
patient, while the remaining blood components are returned to the donor.
The
apheresis systems segment is expected to account for a significant portion of
the global transfusion devices market. Volumetric infusion pumps and
gravity-delivered infusion pumps are two types of infusion devices. Global
transfusion devices can be classified into blood disorders, autoimmune
disorders, cancer, renal disorders, surgical procedures, and others. Blood
transfusion devices are classified according to their end-user, which
includes hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, dialysis centers, and others.
