Integrated Blood Conservation is an advanced way of providing medical care while minimizing or eliminating the use of transfusions.

Blood conservation techniques were developed over the years in response to concerns about the safety of the nation's blood supply and as a way to improve patient care.

Those techniques were found to speed healing and hasten the recovery process. They can reduce hospital stays, reduce risk of infection and ultimately reduce healthcare costs.

Today blood conservation is an accepted modern medical specialty.

Using these techniques, many hospitals care for patients without using additional blood components because each patient retains enough of his or her own blood.

Hemo Concepts does not treat patients directly, but we do help hospitals develop and improve their blood conservation programs.

If you have questions about blood conservation techniques and whether they are right for you, please consult your physician.
