Autotransfusion Services is a unique specialty that includes collecting and returning shed blood from the surgical field to significantly reduce or eliminate the need for blood transfusions. The patients own shed blood is mixed with an anti-coagulant, filtered, washed, and concentrated before being returned to the patient. This procedure offers many benefits including: immediate availability of autologous blood, reduces the risk of bloodborne disease and the risk of exposure to the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and the Hepatitis B Virus, and is commonly accepted by Jehovah Witness patients. This procedure can be requested for most surgical specialties, including: orthopedic, general surgery, gynecology, trauma, and urology.

What Patients are saying
Don’t just take our word for it.
I was very fortunate to have been a candidate for BMAC therapy. I suffered for some time with pain 4 out of 10 at it’s best. At times, I could barely walk and I had many sleepless nights. I had the BMAC therapy done 2 years ago this December at Fannin Regional Hospital by Dr. Douglas Nuelle. There has been no further deterioration and most importantly, the pain I was experiencing is gone!
If you are the right candidate I would highly recommend this very minor procedure.

As a patient who received platelet gel during a hysterectomy, I can honestly say that, after I left the hospital, I did not even fill my prescription for pain medication. I might have taken two over the counter Advil when I came home. I had virtually no bleeding, either. With the obvious remarkable job of a skilled surgeon and the application and use of the platelet gel, also by skilled hands, my recovery was uneventful and short. If given the choice, I would definitely ask for platelet gel with any future surgeries.
