Why chose PuriVet filter?

Thank you, Dr. Bi Weigang, Little dog&cat Animal Hospital, for sharing the opportunity of using PuriVet blood purification filters. Blood transfusions between dogs and cats are more common in clinical practice. When an animal has a delayed allergic reaction, symptoms usually occur the next day or two or three days after the blood transfusion is completed. I used to be concerned every time I finished a blood transfusion case, therefore it took more work to keep track of the data. Even if the animal did not have any visible exterior allergy symptoms, the white blood cell data might occasionally rise, necessitating additional attention. We have been using other kind of blood filters in the past, but after learning about Purivet's products, comparing the differences between the two, we decide to switch to PuriVet filter. Ignoring the impacts of the disease itself, we have found that Purivet's products are the most effective among all on reducing the transfusion reactions and remove blood clots or microaggregates during transfusion. The occurrence of delayed allergic reactions in dogs and cats following blood transfusion has been found to be greatly reduced, and it is also beneficial to their recovery.

What other benefits of the PuriVet blood purification filter?

According to the doctor, PuriVet filter is available in 2 variations and is designed for large and small breeds, allowing us to be utilized for dogs and cats of various sizes. Furthermore, the operation of PuriVet is really simple and smooth. The blood is filtered using a leukocyte filter, which keeps all of the patients' needs as much as possible while removing other superfluous elements, making the blood better quality.

Is there a limit on how PuriVet blood purification filters can be used in the hospital or clinic?

Basically, the number of blood transfusion cases for dogs and cats in the hospital is nearly equal, and we've been using the leukocytes filter for every case of blood transfusion for a long time and have plenty of expertise with it. For those patient with anemia or who have had abdominal or intestinal surgery (such as tumor removal, pyometra, or other procedures) that result in significant blood loss, we will prescribe the blood transfusion with PuriVet filter.

The suggestion to the owner. Blood transfusion is a relatively expensive treatment, and the owner often has greater expectations and considerations (it is believed that the patient’s condition will be greatly improved after the blood transfusion is conducted).  Therefore, to reduce blood transfusion-related side effects as much as possible (avoid blood rejection, reduce blood allergic reactions, etc.), preserve the benefits of blood treatment, and shorten the animal’s hospital stay is what we can provide to the owner as much as possible in addition to a routine blood type test/blood type pairing.
