Surgery Equipment

CS5+ usage:
The CS5+ Cell Saver system can be used for:

Intraoperative Autotransfusion
Appropriate procedures include cardiac, vascular, orthopedic, pediatric, transplant, urologic and trauma surgery.

Preoperative Plasma and Platelet Sequestration
The CS5+ Cell Saver system is often used to sequester platelets and plasma from a patient immediately before surgery. The sequestered components are returned to the patient, if required, thereby reducing the need for allogeneic (donor) blood products and the inherent risks that are associated with donor blood.

Perioperative Platelet Sequestration
The enhanced sensor technology of the CS5+ Cell Saver system gives operators a consistent process for collection of Platelet-Rich Plasma ("PRP") with flexibility in producing ideal PRP volumes. PRP sequestered by the CS5+ Cell Saver system is often used to produce autologous platelet gel. Platelets are known to contain "growth factors" that enhance wound healing and bone growth. However, the production and application of autologous platelet gel is considered a "practice of medicine." Therefore, Haemonetics cannot recommend or endorse specific procedures for production of platelet gel nor does it make any claims about the clinical efficacy of such procedures.
