Description

The Bellovac ABT is an advanced medical device designed to enhance post-operative care through effective wound drainage and autologous blood transfusion. This system is particularly beneficial in surgical procedures such as orthopedic, gynecological, and general surgeries, where managing blood loss and minimizing infection risk are critical.

Key Features

• Closed System Design: The Bellovac ABT operates as a closed system, significantly reducing the risk of post-operative infections by preventing exposure to external contaminants.
• Dual Functionality: It serves both as a wound drainage system and an autologous blood reinfusion device, allowing patients to safely reinfuse their own blood.
• Low Pressure Operation: Utilizing a bellows mechanism, it creates a gentle vacuum for drainage, minimizing tissue aspiration and preserving blood integrity.

Safety and Efficiency

Equipped with triple non-return valves and comprehensive filtration, the system ensures safe blood handling. The filters include a 200 micron macro-filter and 80 and 40 micron micro-filters, enhancing blood safety during reinfusion. The biocompatible, pyrogen-free materials used in its construction, along with radiopaque catheters, further ensure patient safety.

Ready-to-Use

The Bellovac ABT is delivered as a complete, sterile set, ready for immediate use without the need for additional equipment or specialized training. This convenience is complemented by practical features such as:

• Bellows and Drainage Bags: The system includes a 220 ml bellows and a 500 ml drainage bag, with pre-vacuumed drains and secure clamps for effective fluid management.
• Easy Operation: Instructions for use are straightforward, emphasizing aseptic techniques and careful management to ensure optimal performance.

Operational Guidelines

Blood collection should commence approximately 20 minutes after tourniquet release, with reinfusion managed within a 6-hour window and a maximum volume of 1500 ml. The recommended transfusion rate is typically 200 ml/hr, adjustable as per medical guidance.

Post-collection, the system seamlessly transitions to a low vacuum drain by replacing the transfusion bag with a standard drainage bag. Safe removal procedures and effective emptying techniques are clearly outlined to maintain system integrity.

Available Sizes

The Bellovac ABT is available in sizes FG 10, 14, and 18, with a maximum suction pressure of 90 mmHg (12 kPa), catering to various surgical needs. Its thoughtful design and comprehensive features make it an invaluable tool in enhancing surgical outcomes and patient recovery.
