Bloodless Medicine in South Carolina

Many patients have reservations about receiving blood products during their hospitalization for personal, medical or religious reasons. Bloodless Medicine is an effective practice of treating patients without using donated blood products. It is a comprehensive approach that focuses on the patient before, during, and after surgery in an effort to minimize their risks for a blood transfusion. Because the orthopaedic surgeons at Village Orthopaedic Surgery are committed to taking the extra time needed to coordinate a bloodless surgical procedure, you can be sure that you are receiving the most advanced healthcare possible.
