The team of Prof. John Eric Steephen from the School of Digital Sciences, Digital University Kerala created a device for Intraoperative Auto-transfusion to help save patients who lose significant volumes of blood in emergencies like ruptured ectopic pregnancy in remote areas where access to blood banks is limited. This patent-pending gravity-driven device collects, filters and reinfuses the blood lost by patients back into their circulatory system.
