  • Device and methods for platelet lysis or activation
    Patent number: 11903970
    Abstract: Apparatus, kit and method embodiments are disclosed herein that provide for the production of a modified autologous platelet mixture at a patient bedside for contemporaneous reinjection to the patient using a platelet lysis apparatus. Representative platelet lysis apparatus may include a housing supporting a sample tube and a thermal mass element connected to or near the sample tube. The thermal mass element may be separable from the housing, and/or the sample tube may be separable from the thermal mass element.
    Type: Grant

  • Device and methods for platelet lysis or activation
    Patent number: 10905721
    Abstract: Apparatus, kit and method embodiments are disclosed herein that provide for the production of a modified autologous platelet mixture at a patient bedside for contemporaneous reinjection to the patient using a platelet lysis apparatus. Representative platelet lysis apparatus include a sample tube and a compressed gas source connected to or near the sample tube. The compressed gas source provides for the release of expanding gas into direct or indirect contact with an exterior surface of the sample tube to freeze a platelet containing mixture within the sample tube. An optional housing supports the sample tube and compressed gas source in an operative relationship with each other.
