Somewhere I heard that a single donation unit of blood can be made into three distinct products that could be given to three distinct patients. I assume that this possibility is the source of the statistic. Wikipedia is suggestive but not definitive.
Even if that’s right, it’s not a very useful statistic because it ignores the fairly common occurrence than more than one unit of medical thing will be needed for a single patient.
