Due to the coronavirus outbreak worldwide, global demand for some personal protective equipment (PPE) is exceeding supply. In addition, manufacturing of PPE and many other wound care and infection prevention products have been impacted by global response to coronavirus. While you may see product availability reduction in the near-term, please be assured Medline continues to work to diversify production and provide your supply needs. As always, please reach out to your Medline sales representative with any specific questions or follow up.
Our OrthoPAT® orthopedic perioperative autotransfusion system is a fully automated device that collects, washes, and returns your patients' blood during and after orthopedic surgery helping to give them the best chance at avoiding unnecessary allogeneic transfusions and related risks of infection. By consistently delivering fresh red blood cells with high hematocrit, the OrthoPAT system helps to ensure that your patients receive their own high-quality blood with a reduced risk of infection. The processing of autologous blood, separation of plasma, cell debris, and undesirable contaminants, as well as collection into the retransfusion bag, is performed automatically. The OrthoPAT system is completely portable with an integrated battery and vacuum pump allowing you to support your patients throughout the complete continuum of care.
