Abstract:
In vitro tests were carried out to determine whether the haemostyptic properties of a collagen monomer were lost during the manufacturing process. An increased recalcification time and thromboplastin time as well as failure of the thrombocytes to adhere to the collagen fibres were observed. This indicates that blood coagulation can be attributed only to mechanical irritation of the blood corpuscles and not to the properties of the collagen molecules.
