Maccaferri HEA Panels (High Energy Absorption) are the stiffest products within our Mac.RO(TM) Systems mesh range, offering extreme strength at low strain. Stiffness is more important than tensile strength of meshes as it affects the deflection of the system under load.

HEA (human erythrocyte antigen) and HPA (human platelet antigen) testing allows simultaneous testing for multiple antigens in one assay. Higher resolution testing, including genomic and cDNA sequence analysis is used to characterize variant antigens and resolve typing discrepancies.

HEA panel that allows for best matched red cell blood product for the patient and the avoidance of alloimmunization.

HEA Panel (High Energy Absorption) combines high strength features of the wire rope with the steel knot. The knot is made by two bindings, each one obtained by looping a pair of steel 3.00 mm wires coated with a Zinc-Aluminium-5% mischmetal alloy. The two bindings tightly envelop the ropes crossing each other.

The human erythrocyte antigen, HEA BeadChip ™ Test Kit is an in-vitro diagnostic test and multiplexed molecular assay that generates detailed molecular information from patient and donor samples, rapidly detecting genotypes for accurate prediction of phenotypes:

PreciseType™ HEA test is a multiplexed molecular assay that generates detailed molecular information from patient and donor samples, rapidly detecting genotypes for accurate prediction of phenotypes:

Maccaferri® High Energy Absorbsion (HEA) panels are the stiffest products within the Maccaferri Mac.RO™ systems mesh range, offering extreme strength at low strain. The panels are woven from a single continuous length of high tensile strength steel wire rope, joined at each crossing point with the patented HEA ‘double knot’ connection.
