Product Overview
Warm fresh whole blood (FWB) delivered at or near the point of injury represents the gold standard resuscitative therapy for casualties suffering from hemorrhagic shock. Unlike component therapy (packed red blood cells, fresh frozen plasma, platelets administered separately), FWB provides balanced hemostatic resuscitation with a 1:1:1 ratio of clotting factors, red cells, and platelets in a single warm unit — matching the body's natural blood composition at physiologic temperature.
The Safeguard Medical Fresh Whole Blood Donor Set assembles every item required for a provider to conduct a streamlined field whole blood draw: the EldonCard ABO/Rh screen enables rapid type determination before collection, the blood collection bag captures the unit, the lavender and red-top tubes support pre-transfusion compatibility testing and retrospective laboratory work, and the ASBP 572 Emergency Whole Blood Form documents the collection for chain-of-custody.
Walking blood bank (WBB) operations using prescreened group O low-titer donors represent the operational implementation model validated by U.S. Army Special Forces, Marine Raider Battalion (Valkyrie program), and Ranger units (ROLO program). The 80-801-D Donor Set provides the collection half of this capability. Pair with the Safeguard Medical Fresh Whole Blood Recipient Set (80-801-R) or purchase the complete Fresh Whole Blood Transfusion Set (80-801) that includes both donor and recipient components.
Walking Blood Bank Overview
A walking blood bank (WBB) is a group of pre-screened, type-O low-titer whole blood donors within an operational unit who can be activated to donate blood at the point of care when stored blood products are unavailable. The FWB Donor Set enables the collection phase: donor screening (EldonCard), phlebotomy (21g needle and collection bag), labeling, and documentation. This capability is increasingly standard in SOCOM, Ranger, and MARSOC units operating in environments without blood product cold chain infrastructure.
