In addition, there is growing needs for safety enhancement in blood related products, such as the prevention of adverse effects on blood transfusion.

Kawasumi will continue to support the demand of safe blood based on the technology and quality built through the development and production of blood-related medical devices.

KARMI blood bags are single and multiple blood collection systems.
