Platelet Donation

Dak Minn Blood Bank offers Platelet Donation services, providing a critical resource for patients in need. Platelets are essential for clotting and are often required by cancer patients, surgical patients, and those with clotting disorders. Through a process called apheresis, donors can give platelets while other blood components are returned to them. Platelet Donation is a longer process than whole blood donation, typically lasting around 2 hours, but it allows donors to give a higher concentration of platelets in a single session, making a significant impact on patient care. Platelet donors are encouraged to donate regularly, as the shelf life of platelets is short, and there is a constant need for this life-saving donation. By donating platelets at Dak Minn Blood Bank, you are directly supporting patients undergoing treatment and surgeries, contributing to a healthier community.
