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

  1. Apparatus for Determining Viscous Behavior of a Liquid
  2. Apparatus for Determining the Behavior of a Liquid During Coagulation and the Like

Zuckerman patent for disposable cups and pins for TEG from 1989″
