Results for tag: "Platelet Donor"

The Platelet Donor market is a subset of the Blood Banking industry. Platelets are a type of blood cell that helps the body form clots to stop bleeding. Platelet donors are individuals who donate their platelets to help those in need of a blood transfusion. Platelet donations are typically collected through a process called apheresis, which separates the platelets from the donor's blood and returns the remaining components to the donor. Platelet donations are typically used to treat cancer patients, trauma victims, and those with blood disorders. Platelet donations are typically collected by blood banks, which are organizations that collect, process, and distribute blood and blood products. Blood banks are typically regulated by government agencies, such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States. Some companies in the Platelet Donor market include the American Red Cross, the American Association of Blood Banks, and the National Marrow Donor Program. Show Less Read more
