43. What if You Could Donate Blood Back to Yourself? — Global Health Pursuit The journey of HemaFuse began as a student project, an idea sparked by the realization of a significant global health need—the lack of donor blood in low- and middle-income countries.

“The need for blood is constant. Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood – an often-invisible emergency that the rest of the world doesn’t see.” - American Red Cross

Did you know there is a shortage of donor blood and blood components? That there aren’t enough healthcare facilities and emergency vehicles equipped for blood transfusions? And, that there is a dwindling number of blood donors?

A recent letter published in the Journal of the American Medical Association emphasizes the donor blood crisis, which is leaving hospitals with an insufficient supply of donor blood, is putting patients at risk. This is where Hemafuse serves as a life-saving solution.

Using a patient's own blood, Hemafuse collects blood lost before or during surgery and makes that whole blood available for transfusion back to the patient in under 5 minutes. Our device operates anywhere there is a trained surgeon with no need for electricity and is used across trauma, obstetric, orthopedic, and general surgeries with internal bleeding.

This article highlights that postpartum hemorrhage remains the leading cause of maternal death worldwide and is especially hard to manage in low-resource countries due to the global shortage of blood products. Tools such as the ‘drape’ and E-MOTIVE are part of a growing group of technological innovations to treat severe blood loss, including Hemafuse, our life-saving autotransfusion device.

When a mother is in dire need of a blood transfusion, often there is no blood available, or none to match their blood type. For mothers dealing with early-stage pregnancy complications, Hemafuse serves as a life-saving solution by enabling surgical teams to capture a patient’s blood, filter it, and return fresh, whole blood back to that same patient. This not only provides immediate access to blood transfusion for the patient but also allows surgical teams to preserve precious units of donor blood for other patients.
