Bleeding time in laboratory animals. II-A comparison of different assay conditions in rats
E Dejana, A Callioni, A Quintana, G de Gaetano - Thrombosis research, 1979 - Elsevier
Two techniques for measurement of bleeding times on the tails of unanaesthetized male rats
were compared in various experimental conditions. The first technique consisted in
producing a standardized incision on the dorsal part of the tail by means of a
'template'device. The second consisted of a 'free-hand'full transection of the tail tip with a
disposable surgical blade. The position of the tail, the environment in which it was placed
and the temperature were variably associated in four different experimental groups. In all …
