Hemoconcentrators

A hemoconcentrator is a fluid removal device used during cardio bypass surgery. The device is inserted into the extracorpeal circuit where it acts to control hemodilution, maintain hematocrit levels, and reduce the need for additional blood products during and after surgery. Recognized as a great asset in fluid management, hemoconcentrators lower instances of edema, organ dysfunction and protein concentration.
Using the Hemocon HPH hemoconcentrator:

• Reduces the need for homologous blood and blood products by providing patients with their own concentrated whole blood.
• Maintains the desired hematocrit level for oxygen transport to tissues.
• Decreases the risk of post-operative bleeding through the retention of platelets and plasma coagulation proteins.
• Maintains oncotic pressure by retaining plasma proteins while quickly and gently removing excess plasma water.
• Minimizes the need for diuretic use, which may be contraindicated for some patients.

Benefits

• Polysulfone membrane offers excellent biocompatibility
• Proprietary fiber manufacturing process ensures consistent performance
• No-rinse fiber for convenient set up
• Complete model selection offers ultrafiltration rates for the full range of patients from the neonate to largest adult
• Meets the biocompatibility requirements of ISO 10993-4 selection of tests for interactions with blood
• Manufactured under U.S. Patent 5,762,798

Convenience and Value

• The Hemocor HPH provides perfusionists with a convenient and lower cost method of processing hemodiluted blood.
• The “no-rinse” hemoconcentrator can be easily inserted into the extracorporeal circuit by the perfusionist at any time during the surgical procedure.
• Shortened circuit assembly time is accomplished with the use of the optional standard tubing sets.
• Costs are reduced by eliminating purchases of capital equipment and blood processing kits.
