[Experience with the Solcotrans orthopedic autotransfusion device in hip replacement surgery].
A study on 20 patients undergoing hip prosthetic surgery is reported. Solcotrans Orthopaedic, a sterile, disposable device for the post-operative salvage and reinfusion of drained whole blood was used on all patients. 70% of patients did not require additional homologous blood and there was a saving of 76% in homologous blood usage. The device is safe and simple to use and no clinically significant adverse effects were observed. Its use is recommended in patients undergoing hip prosthetic surgery in the absence of joint infection or malignancy.
