Blood Recovery Systems

Blood Recovery Systems, Inc. was a specialized healthcare services and medical device company focused on autologous blood recovery and transfusion solutions. The company provided comprehensive intraoperative and postoperative blood salvage programs, utilizing specialized technology to collect, wash, and reinfuse a patient's own red blood cells during major surgical procedures. This approach is critical for reducing the clinical reliance on donor blood transfusions and minimizing associated risks such as infection or transfusion reactions. In January 1998, the company was acquired by Haemonetics Corporation for approximately $13.5 million. Following the acquisition, its service-based business model and technical expertise were integrated into Haemonetics' broader surgical blood management portfolio.
