A blood product is any component of the blood which is collected from a donor for use in a blood transfusion. Whole blood is uncommonly used in transfusion medicine at present. The currently available blood products include: packed red blood cells, platelets, fresh frozen plasma, cryoprecipitate, albumin, and immunoglobulins.
