3-T Medical Systems, Bloomfield, MI, a marketer of blood collection/filtering products, and Geneva Medical Products, Walworth, WI, a manufacturer of custom thermoplastic components, announced their collaboration on a new line of products in support of autotransfusion, a procedure by which patients become their own blood donors. A national survey of nearly 5,000 surgery patients at 18 university hospitals during January and February 1986 found that only 5 percent of the 590 patients considered eligible for autotransfusion donated their own blood. This 500-page report contains 170 exhibits, including market models and supplier share data for: blood pumps, CPB disposables, autotransfusion kits, beating heart products, minimally invasive vessel harvesting systems, anastomosis devices, transmyocardial revascularization technologies, cardiopulmonary surgical sealants, and adjunctive technologies, among others. |
