"KEDPLASMA USA, established in 2004, specializes in the collection and procurement of high-quality plasma that is processed into plasma-based therapies. With over 900 employees, KEDPLASMA USA operates over 25 plasma centers in the United States."
"Donating plasma is easy and safe.
Plasma is collected thorough a process called plasmapheresis. Whole blood is drawn utilizing a plasmapheresis machine. This machine removes whole blood, mixes it with an anticoagulant solution, separates the plasma and then returns the remaining components back to you, the donor. During this procedure, a sterile, single-use kit is used and your blood never leaves the system. Because the body can replace plasma much more quickly than it can these other components, plasma donors may donate more frequently than whole blood donors."
