ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a blood components collector unit comprising a cannula, a blood collection bag and a membrane type blood components separator which are connected in this order through tubes, and also comprising a plasma collection reservoir and a blood cell collection reservoir, both of which are connected to the blood components separator through tubes, wherein each connection through each tube is in a fixed fashion, thereby providing a unified connection, and wherein the blood collector unit is packed in a container in a sterile state. By the use of the unit of the present invention, whole blood can be collected and separated into blood components easily at a shortened period of time without any cumbersome preparatory operations. In addition, since the unit of the present invention is compact and light in weight and can be used without any other auxiliary apparatus, the unit can be conveyed to and used in any places, such as in automobiles and outdoors. Further, the time of restraining a whole blood donor can be decreased, leading a less burdening of the donor with a great advantage.
