"I 100% believe that The Belmont is quite literally the most important piece of equipment in our trauma rooms. I have repeatedly seen patients' lives extended long enough to reach OR solely because of the rapid infuser by Belmont. Earlier this year, I had a patient who had been involved in a motorcycle accident... I seriously didn't expect the patient to have a good outcome. Approximately four months later, I saw this patient very alive and well and was amazed. I can 100% say that The Belmont® saved this patient's life, otherwise they would not have made it to the OR alive."
An advance in medical technology is being credited with helping to save the life of Omaha police officer Paul Latschar. Dr. Robert Fitzgibbons, Jr., says, “He still had brain activity. He wouldn’t be legally dead, by any means.” But, he had no pulse. He had no blood pressure. The Belmont® Rapid Infuser is what doctors believe made a medical miracle possible. Dr. Nahel Saied says, “The pump system here actually heats the blood to a certain degree and clears the air from it and then delivers it to the patient through this large tube.”
“I have operated The Belmont through hundreds of bags of blood. Many injuries here in Afghanistan are very traumatic, because of the enemies’ use of the IED (improvised explosive device), injuries such as multiple amputations of extremities, blast injuries, gunshot wounds, and others. Your pump has given me witness to bringing multiple GI’s back to life, because of the rapid administration of blood products your pump provides.” — United States Navy Reserve LCDR NC
At a leading academic medical center in New York City, a mother’s life was saved during the delivery of her fifth child with the help of The Belmont® Rapid Infuser. After experiencing massive bleeding, the mother required an infusion of over 50 units of blood. The mother would not have survived without the rapid infuser. Grateful for the life-saving instrument, the husband of the delivering woman wrote a check to the obstetrics ward specifically for the purchase of a Belmont Rapid Infuser of its own.
