  • ACTIVATION AND AGGREGATION OF HUMAN PLATELETS AND FORMATION OF PLATELET GELS BY NANOSECOND PULSED ELECTRIC FIELDS
    Publication number: 20140106430
    Abstract: Methods for forming activated platelet gels using nsPEF's and applying the activated gels to wounds, such as heart tissue after myocardial infarction. The platelets are activated by applying at least one nsPEF with a duration between about 10 picoseconds to 1 microsecond and electrical field strengths between about 10 kV/cm and 350 kV/cm.
    Type: Application
    Filed: December 20, 2013
    Publication date: April 17, 2014
    Applicants: Eastern Virginia Medical School, Old Dominion University
