Whole Blood Donation
|
|
When blood is collected, it still contains all of the blood components; thus it is called 'Whole Blood.' A short 30-minute whole blood donation can help as many as four children. Your whole blood can be separated into its components: red blood cells, platelets and plasma. This enables us to help more children by giving each child only the specific blood product that he or she needs.
