Transcollation™ Technology - The Salient Solution

Lowering Costs and Improving Outcomes by Reducing Blood Loss

The best blood management strategy is to prevent bleeding, not chase after it. Salient's Transcollation Technology gives surgeons the ability to proactively keep blood where it belongs during surgery, in the patient.

Researchers have reported that Transcollation Technology ^1-7:

• Reduces blood loss
• Reduces requirements for blood transfusions
• Improves visualization of the operative field during surgery
• Reduces operative time
• Speeds post-operative recovery and reduces length of hospital stay

The result is potential cost savings at the hospital level brought on by reducing or eliminating those approaches that merely chase blood loss, and by avoiding the direct and indirect costs of transfusions.

How does Transcollation Technology work? Let's explore! Just what is Transcollation?.
