  • Publication number: 20140031772
    Abstract: A system and method for collecting bone marrow exposed during a surgical procedure is disclosed. The system comprises a cannula; a collection element, such as a syringe; a storage element, such as a blood bag of blood tube; a valve assembly; and connecting tubing. The system is a closed system which significantly reduces the risk of microbial contamination during the collection and/or processing of the bone marrow. The method includes collecting bone marrow using the system during a surgical procedure, such as a hip or knee replacement surgery, and processing the collected bone marrow to obtain stem cells. Once obtained, the stem cells can be cryopreserved in a cell bank for later use.

  • Publication number: 20050019311
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for the encapsulation of substances and drugs into cells and platelets. The present invention is also related to the incorporation of thrombus dissolving drugs, such as tissue plasminogen activator and streptokinase into platelets using the apparatus described herein. The treated platelets can then be used to treat patients suffering from a thrombus blocking a blood vessel. The present invention is also related to a preparation of red blood cells that has a stable right shift of the oxygen dissociation curve.
