The Platelet Donation market is a subset of the Blood Banking industry. Platelets are a type of blood cell that helps the body form clots and stop bleeding. Platelet donations are used to treat patients with cancer, blood disorders, and other medical conditions. Platelet donations are typically collected through a process called apheresis, which separates the platelets from the other components of the blood. Donors must meet certain criteria to be eligible to donate platelets, including age, weight, and health status. Platelet donations are typically collected by blood banks and transfusion centers. Blood banks are responsible for collecting, processing, and distributing blood and blood products. Transfusion centers are responsible for providing blood and blood products to hospitals and other healthcare facilities.
