What is a Blood Transfusion Bag?
Blood Transfusion Bag is a sterile, plastic bag used to collect and store blood and blood products for various medical procedures. It has different types: single, double, triple, and quadruple, and is made of either welding PVC film or blow extruded PVC film. It can hold different blood volumes 250ml to 450ml.
Blood transfusion bags are a critical component of the transfusion process and are used to safely and efficiently deliver blood to patients who require it. Blood bags are also designed with features to help prevent contamination during the collection and storage process, such as sterile ports and tamper-evident seals.
This Blood Transfusion Bag is manufactured by AdvaCare Pharma at ISO and CE certified facilities located in India, China, and the USA. Our facilities are regularly inspected to ensure compliance with all healthcare standards for quality and safety.
Product Specifications
Material
Type
Welding PVC Film
Welding PVC Film blood transfusion bags are manufactured using a process that involves welding and cutting two layers of PVC film together. This is achieved through ultrasonic, high-frequency, or NWS (pulse/thermal) welding methods. The resulting bags are sterile, durable, and reliable for the safe storage and transfusion of blood and blood products.
Blown Extruded PVC Film
Blown Extruded PVC Film blood transfusion bags with a tubular shape are made using a blown extrusion process that results in seamless edges without the need for welding. This method involves extruding PVC film through a circular die and then inflating it to the desired size and shape. The resulting bags are strong, flexible, and ideal for safe storage and transfusion of blood and blood products.
Single
Single blood transfusion bags are designed for the collection, processing, and transfusion of whole blood. These blood collection bags contain CPDA-1 solution, a common anticoagulant and nutrient solution used in blood banking. With their sterile and reliable design, single blood bags are a trusted option for safe and effective transfusion procedure.
Double
Double blood transfusion bags are designed for the collection of whole blood and the separation of two different blood components (red blood cells and plasma) through the process of centrifugation and extraction. These bags feature two compartments that allow for the separate storage and transfusion of each component, providing a safe and effective method for blood transfusion.
Triple
Triple blood transfusion bag is specially designed for whole blood collection, processing, and transfusion. This type of blood bag contains CPDA-1 and SAGM (Saline-Adenine-Glucose-Mannitol) solutions for the separation of three different blood components, namely red blood cells, plasma, and a buffy coat comprising leukocytes and platelets, which are obtained through centrifugation and extraction.
Quadruple
Quadruple blood transfusion bag is specially designed for whole blood collection and separation into four different components: red blood cells, plasma, leukocytes, and platelets. This separation is achieved through the process of centrifugation and extraction, providing a safe and effective solution for medical procedures that require blood transfusion and/or separation.

Uses
How should a Blood Transfusion Bag be used?
A blood transfusion bag should be used by connecting it to an IV catheter and then administering the blood to the patient through the IV line. The bag should be checked for any abnormalities or discoloration before use, and the transfusion rate should be carefully monitored to prevent complications such as fluid overload or transfusion reactions.
How should a Blood Transfusion Bag be disposed of?
Proper disposal of the bag after use is also important to prevent the spread of infections. Blood transfusion bags should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations for biomedical waste. Typically, this involves properly sealing the used bag in a biohazard bag or container and disposing of it through a medical waste management service.
FAQs
What is the difference between Blood Transfusion Bags made of welding PVC film and blown extruded PVC film?
The main difference is the manufacturing process. Welding PVC film blood bags are made by welding together two sheets of PVC film, while blown extruded PVC film blood collection bags are made by blowing air into a cylinder of molten PVC to create a tube. Additionally, welding PVC film tends to have a smoother surface and is more transparent, while blown extruded PVC film is more flexible and has better puncture resistance.
What are the differences between single, double, triple, and quadruple Blood Transfusion Bags?
Single blood transfusion bags are designed to collect and store one unit of whole blood or a blood component, while double bags can store two units. Triple bags can store three units, and quadruple bags can store four units. The bags are designed with different compartments to allow for the separation and preservation of different blood components such as red blood cells, plasma, platelets, and cryoprecipitate.
How is a Blood Transfusion Bag prepared and stored?
Before use, the blood transfusion bag is prepared by a healthcare professional, who will verify the blood type and compatibility of the blood product and attach a label with the patient's information. The bag is then stored in a designated area, such as a refrigerator or blood bank, until it is ready to be used. It is important to follow proper storage and handling procedures to ensure the safety and efficacy of the blood product.
Can Blood Transfusion Bags be reused or recycled?
Blood transfusion bags are single-use medical devices and should not be reused or recycled. Reusing or recycling blood transfusion bags can lead to contamination and compromise the safety of the blood product. After use, the bag should be properly disposed of according to local regulations and guidelines.
How are Blood Transfusion Bags tested for safety and quality?
Blood transfusion bags undergo extensive testing and quality control measures to ensure their safety and efficacy. The bags themselves are tested for leaks, cracks, and other defects to ensure that they are sterile and intact. In addition, the bags are subjected to a variety of physical and chemical tests to verify that they meet the necessary specifications for strength, durability, and compatibility with blood products.
