Life-Saving Plasma Filter Gets Green Light in Israel

An Israeli breakthrough could transform trauma care: ClearPlasma, a pocket-sized filter that strips donated plasma of clot-dissolving proteins that prevent patients from stopping catastrophic bleeds.

Already proven in international trials on 200 patients, the device — recently approved in Israel — helps trauma and surgery victims form stable clots faster, reduces transfusion needs, and carries no side effects.

Now headed for FDA trials, ClearPlasma may be the first major advance in bleeding control since the 1960s.

A woman visiting from the U.S. described her experience as a “once-in-a-lifetime moment — it’s like you can feel the holiness here.”

And another woman said, “The whole thing has been incredibly meaningful and powerful to be a Christian and to follow Jesus’ steps.”
