Restoring hope, building trust, and improving quality of life through readily available and safe transfusion solutions.
Secure Transfusion Solutions (STS) aims to increase the quality, safety, and availability of transfusable blood components, especially apheresis platelets. We give institutions—large and small—the peace of mind of knowing that they’ll receive a consistent and reliable supplemental source of platelets. Customers of STS include some of the most well-respected and innovative medical institutions in the country. By partnering with STS, hospital systems strengthen their supply chain and are better prepared to meet the transfusion needs of their patients.
