The Hemafuse is a handheld, mechanical device for intraoperative autotransfusion of blood collected from an internal hemorrhage, meant to replace or augment donor blood in emergency situations.
The Hemafuse System operates simply: when the handle is
pulled up, blood is pulled through a filter. The
specialized design of the filter removes clots and
particulates. When the handle is pushed down, the blood is
then pushed through tubing into a blood bag to be
transfused to the same patient.
Some use cases could include:
When the handle is pulled up, blood is pulled through a filter. The specialized design of the filter removes clotsand impurities.
When the handle is pushed down, the blood is then pushed through tubing into a blood bag.
The blood bag is then connected to the patient for a gravity-fed transfusion.
