Biomedical Services
As with other Red Cross services, it's all about helping others, one person at a time. As the nation's largest supplier of blood, plasma, and tissue products, the Red Cross saves and enhances the lives of thousands every day.

Blood Services
The most visible division of Biomedical Services, Blood Services is touching more lives than ever before. We've provided the nation with safe, reliable blood products for generations. And today, we continue setting new standards for safety and quality.

Tissue Services
The Red Cross provides nearly one fifth of the nation's transplantation tissue. Since 1982, the Red Cross has provided lifesaving and life-enhancing tissue (heart valve, skin, ligament, tendon, bone, major blood vessel, fascia- muscle covering) to more than 600,000 people.

Plasma Services
A leader in the plasma industry, the Red Cross provides more than one quarter of the nation's plasma products. Red Cross Plasma Services seeks to provide the American people with safe, reliable, cost effective plasma products.
