Platelet Apheresis Program
In March 2006, the platelet apheresis program was launched.
Apheresis is the process of removing platelets and returning the remaining components, such as red blood cells and plasma, to the donor. Platelets are the cells that help stop bleeding.
Doctors use platelets for patients undergoing aggressive treatments for cancers such as leukemia, aplastic anemia and other blood disorders.
Platelet apheresis donors are able to donate every two weeks. This donation process takes approximately 90 minutes.
