Cell Saver (Blood Salvage) Intraoperative cell salvage is a device used in surgery. It is a different choice other than getting blood transfusions from someone else. It collects the blood you lose during your surgery, cleans the blood and returns the blood back to you. Up to 80 per cent of the red blood cells you lose during your surgery can be returned to you.
Your blood is made up of liquid and solids. The liquid part, called plasma, is made of water, salts, and protein. Over half of your blood is plasma. The solid part of your blood contains red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Red blood cells (RBC) deliver oxygen from your lungs to your tissues and organs. White blood cells (WBC) fight infection and are part of your immune system. Platelets help blood to clot when you have a cut or wound. Bone marrow, the spongy material inside your bones, makes new blood cells. Blood cells constantly die and your body makes new ones. Red blood cells live about 120 days, and platelets live about 6 days.
