Haemonetics

Haemonetics helps health care providers keep track of blood. The company develops and produces automated blood collection systems that collect and process whole blood, taking only the components (such as plasma or red blood cells) needed and returning the remainder to the donors. Typically these systems, sold under the Cymbal or MCS brands, are bought and used by blood centers. Haemonetics also makes hospital systems that collect and re-infuse a patient's own blood during surgery; these surgical blood salvage systems are sold under the cardioPAT and Cell Saver brand names. Additionally, the company sells information management software and provides consulting services to blood banks and hospitals.
