Abstract:
The mechanical properties of blood clots stabilized with collagen, gelatine and alginate sponges were compared with the oid of thrombelastography and volumetric tests. The collagen sponges were distinctly inferior to gelatine and alginate in stabilizing the clot against retraction. There was no evidence of any interaction between collagen and blood clot.
