In addition, once the casualty has been received at a hospital location, the device can be transferred to a base station platform and used as a conventional blood salvage device. <\/p>\n<p>The device could ultimately reduce the need for donor blood transfusions in the treatment of injured personnel. Patents have been filed and a business partner secured to commercialise the technology with the objective of deploying the device under clinical conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Terry Gourlay, Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of Strathclyde says:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"last-child\">The funding support we received from <abbr title=\"Centre for Defence Enterprise\">CDE<\/abbr> enabled us to develop prototype devices, test these and secure the interest of a commercial partner to take our life saving technology closer to clinical deployment.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 id=\"about-cde\">About <abbr title=\"Centre for Defence Enterprise\">CDE<\/abbr><br \/>\n<\/h2>\n<p><abbr title=\"Centre for Defence Enterprise\">CDE<\/abbr> funds novel, high-risk, high-potential-benefit research.
