Component Therapy

Component Therapy is a medical approach to blood transfusion that involves separating blood into its individual components—such as red blood cells, plasma, and platelets—so that each part can be used more effectively for specific medical needs. For example, a single donation can help multiple patients with different conditions: red cells for anemia, platelets for those undergoing cancer treatment, and plasma for burn victims. This method enhances the efficiency of blood use, improves patient outcomes, and reduces waste, ensuring that the right treatment reaches the right patient at the right time.
