100 results about "Blood substitute" patented technology

A blood substitute (also called artificial blood or blood surrogate) is a substance used to mimic and fulfill some functions of biological blood. It aims to provide an alternative to blood transfusion, which is transferring blood or blood-based products from one person into another. Thus far, there are no well-accepted oxygen-carrying blood substitutes, which is the typical objective of a red blood cell transfusion; however, there are widely available non-blood volume expanders for cases where only volume restoration is required. These are helping doctors and surgeons avoid the risks of disease transmission and immune suppression, address the chronic blood donor shortage, and address the concerns of Jehovah's Witnesses and others who have religious objections to receiving transfused blood.

Method for monitoring degradation of Hb-based blood substitutes

The present invention provides a method for monitoring degradation of Hb-based blood substitutes, in a sample. This method involves determining a concentration of met-Hb within the sample, by applying a calibration algorithm for met-Hb to an absorbance obtained from the sample at one or more than one wavelengths, and using the concentration of met-Hb, as a measurement of degradation of the Hb-based blood substitutes. Using this assay, a concentration of met-Hb that is equal to or greater than 3% may be used as an indicator of degradation of Hb. Alternatively, by obtaining samples over a period of time, the concentration of met-Hb and the concentration of Hb-based blood substitute may be determined in each of these samples, and an increase in the concentration of met-Hb over the period of time is an indicator of degradation of Hb. The sample may be a whole blood sample, a serum sample, or a plasma sample obtained from a patient transfused with one or more than one Hb-based blood substitutes, a stock Hb-based blood substitute sample, or a body part of a patient.

Deoxygenation method and preparation process for natural hemoglobin blood substitute

The invention discloses a deoxygenation method for a natural hemoglobin blood substitute. The deoxygenation method comprises the following steps: adding a small molecule antioxidant and a sugar protective agent into an isotonic system containing natural hemoglobin; adjusting a pH value to 5.0 to 8.0; and alternatively vacuumizing and introducing high-purity inert gas for multiple deoxidization. The invention further discloses a preparation process for the natural hemoglobin blood substitute by adopting a deoxygenation technology. According to the deoxygenation method disclosed by the invention, thorough deoxygenation is realized by alternatively vacuumizing and introducing the gas for the multiple times; before deoxygenation, a proper amount of small molecule antioxygen is added for avoiding the phenomenon that the content of MetHb is increased caused by oxygen introduction before and after deoxygenation; compared with a method of deoxdation by only introducing the gas in the subsequent step in the prior art, the method disclosed by the invention has the advantages that deoxygenation is more thorough and quicker; the content of the hemoglobin is less than or equal to 1 percent, or even is as low as 0 percent; and in addition, a proper amount of sugar protectant is added before deoxygenation for sufficiently protecting a natural hemoglobin structure from being damaged in the deoxygenation process, so that activity and curative effect of a final product are ensured.
