Problem
Globally, there is a critical shortage of donor blood, leaving many clinicians without the necessary resources for life-saving transfusions during surgeries involving internal bleeding. This shortage disproportionately affects resource-limited settings, where access to donor blood is often unreliable or nonexistent.
Solution
Sisu Global's Hemafuse is a handheld autotransfusion device designed to address the global blood shortage by enabling clinicians to salvage, filter, and re-transfuse a patient's own blood during surgeries involving internal bleeding. This allows for immediate access to blood transfusions, reducing the reliance on scarce donor blood and providing a safe and readily available alternative. The device captures blood lost during surgery, filters it to remove contaminants, and returns the clean, whole blood back to the patient. Hemafuse can be used across various surgical procedures, including trauma, obstetric, general, and orthopedic surgeries.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes clinicians, surgeons, and medical personnel in hospitals, clinics, and military settings, particularly in resource-limited environments where access to donor blood is constrained. Veterinarians can also use the device.
