Andreas Calatzis: Any Information on Soviet Thrombelastographs?
Andreas Calatzis, Managing Director of eonis GmbH, shared on LinkedIn:
“Any information on Soviet thrombelastographs?
Most people are not aware that in the 1970ies a significant portion of the clinical application and research on viscoelastometry happened in the Soviet Union. Sadly this research is mostly lost, or at least not available for non-russian speakers.
I would be very curious on some information on these devices, e.g. fotos of actual devices, fotos from articles or textbooks.
The enclosed foto is from the following patent:
I also found:
Hemocoagulograph, Thromboelastograph and Thromboelastometry.
For people interested in the history of viscoelastometers:
Italian viscoelastometer from the late 1970ies
French thrombelastograph from the 1980ies
- Apparatus for Determining Viscous Behavior of a Liquid
- Apparatus for Determining the Behavior of a Liquid During Coagulation and the Like
Zuckerman patent for disposable cups and pins for TEG from 1989″
