If you are ill or injured, you want to make sure that you can get better as soon as possible. Depending on what is wrong with you, your doctor may suggest that you try something called leukopaks. You may not be familiar with familiar with this treatment. 

Leukopaks

Leukopaks are basically blood packs that are packed full of certain blood products. Generally, they are packed full of white blood cells, which help your body heal, fight off inflammation, and help fight infection. The way that leukopaks are made is through a process called leukapheresis. 

Leukapheresis

Leukapheresis starts with some of your blood being drawn. Then, that blood is sent through a centrifuge, where it is spun around really, really fast. That causes the various blood products to separate out into their component parts. Once that has happened, the medical technician, nurse, or doctor who is doing the processing will draw off the different blood products and put them into different blood packs. Because the blood has been separated out into its various components, the medical professional will be able to put certain blood products back into a form where they can be replaced in your body, or injected directly into an injury site. There are a lot of benefits to using leukopaks. 

Faster Healing

One of the benefits that you will get to take advantage of is the fact that the separate blood products will be able to help your body deal with whatever is going on faster so that you are healed or feeling better faster than you might otherwise be. Adding in super packed blood products means that you are going to get more of that particular thing to that area. So, if you are in need of more white blood cells, the direct injection will put them where they will do the most good. 

Research

This isn't a direct benefit to you, but it is one that will help you in the long run. Medical professionals are able to use those enriched blood products in order to do research on the various aspects of blood and how they react to certain medications and such like. That can give the researchers the possibility to learn new treatments or create new medications that can help with various illnesses. 

If you have been injured or are seriously ill, your doctor may suggest that you use something called leukopaks in order to get better.
