Haemonetics Corporation develops and produces automated blood collection systems that collect and process whole blood, taking only the components (such as plasma or red blood cells) needed and returning the remainder to the donors. Typically these systems, sold under the Cell Saver, TEG, and OrthoPAT brands, are bought and used by plasma centers and blood banks. Haemonetics was founded in 1971 and is headquartered in Braintree, Massachusetts.
