The blood retrievers are instruments increasingly used in operating rooms. They are especially useful in operations where there is a high risk of bleeding and transfusion requirements are high. In paediatrics is of great importance in complex interventions in order to avoid allogeneic transfusion (blood collected from donors). The implementation of the recovery of blood in the surgical field is very simple and easy to use. This is a suction tube that collects the blood that is free, transferring it to a centrifuge where it is filtered and washed, stored in a blood collection bag for subsequent infusion. The blood is of high quality and contains a high hematocrit blood from the bank.
