Abstract

Apparatus and method for modeling of thrombogenesis using haemostasis measuring devices. A sleeve member is provided on a blood-carrying tube to simulate an environment of a human artery. When punctured with a small needle, bleeding is simulated, permitting blood to be trapped between the sleeve and blood-carrying tube. The trapped blood communicates with the blood flowing in the tube, resulting in thrombus formation.
