The Hemobag® can be used for procedures, including:
- Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)
- ECMO support techniques (ECMO)
- Ventricular assist device procedures
- Liver transplantation/bypass
- Isolated limb perfusions
- Heparinized cardiotomy reservoirs
- Jehovah’s Witness patients
We are also pleased to offer a selection of current literature and related resources on another section of the website.
Ask your perfusionist about getting the Hemobag®
Great video on hemostasis and coagulation
