Case Study: Materials for Blood Bags
This case study of good practice in learning and teaching in Materials focuses on polymeric Materials for use in Blood bags. Author: Dr Nigel Mills Institution: University of Birmingham Background to the case study Biomedical Materials science is an interdisciplinary area. The case study involves Materials science and processing, as well as the effects of plastics on Blood products. Plasticised-PVC Blood bags have been used since the 1950s for the collection of whole Blood , the processing of this into plasma, platelets etc., and storage. The phthalate plasticisers, when fed in large quantities to rats, can cause cancer. This does not prove that the storage of whole Blood in plasticised PVC bags is a health risk. However, there has been a search for alternative polymers for Blood bags.
