Administrative Benefits

• Safe: Because its Autologous
  
  
  • Patients "own" Blood being Processed
    
    
  • No Risk of Rejection
    
    
  • No Risk of Transmittable Disease (Like Fibrin Glue)
    
    
• Cost Effective
  
  
  • Decreases hospital Length of Stay in Total joints
    
    
  • Decresed Oral & I.V. Narcotic Requirements
    
    
  • Can Decrease "banked" Blood Product Requirements
    
    
  • Helps Prevent Infection
    
    
  • Enhances Healing of "Costly" Chronic Wounds
    
    
  • Much less expensive vs. Hyperbaric Treatment
    
    
  • More Effective than Fibrin Glue
