Please note: AABB reserves the right to make updates to this program.

2:00 – 3:00 PM (ET)

Presented by Terumo Blood and Cell Technologies

Terumo Blood and Cell TechnologiesCurrently more than 94% of the platelet supply in the United States is collected by apheresis1. With the decline in the apheresis donor population and continued post-COVID blood supply challenges, whole blood derived platelets can be a boost to the platelet supply. US blood collectors should reconsider the option of whole blood derived platelets2.

Join us to hear leaders in the industry, representing both blood centers and hospitals, share their perspectives on the merits of whole blood derived platelets.
