Market Definition

Apheresis is a medical technology and extracorporeal blood separation procedure in which whole blood is withdrawn from a donor or patient and processed through a device that separates specific blood components. The desired component is collected or treated, while the remaining blood components are returned to the individual. The process primarily uses centrifugation or membrane filtration to separate blood components.

Apheresis encompasses both donor and therapeutic procedures and is widely used in transfusion medicine, hematology, oncology, nephrology, neurology, and immunology for blood component collection and the treatment of various disorders, including autoimmune diseases, hematologic conditions, and metabolic disorders.
