    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 4, 1996
    Date of Patent: July 20, 1999
    Assignee: Xylum Corporation
    Inventors: Peter Gorog, Iren Kovacs
  • Blood testing device
    Patent number: 5665311
    Abstract: An apparatus for measuring physical properties of blood is disclosed. Two reservoirs are provided connected to a receptacle means by at least two elongated tubes. A punching station located along the two tubes permits the simultaneous punching of holes to simulate bleeding in the tubes. The bleeding of the tubes is monitored to indicate the haemostasis properties of blood flowing through the elongated tubes. Monitoring is effected by measuring the downstream pressure of a punched tube. Alternate embodiments include the addition of third channel having a collagen material within the channel. Platelet aggregation on the collagen material is observed as a measure of haemostasis properties of the blood.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 3, 1989
    Date of Patent: September 9, 1997
    Inventors: Peter Gorog, Iren Kovacs
  • Apparatus and method for modeling arterial thrombus formations
    Patent number: 5296379
    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.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 22, 1992
    Date of Patent: March 22, 1994
