Abstract: Disclosed herein is a medical diagnostic device for determining bleeding times and behavior of bleedings from a standardized wound, (hemmorrhagometry), wherein a flow of a rinsing liquid past the wound is established, thereby to cause the rinsing liquid to contact the wound. A photometric instrument or equivalent is provided for determining a characteristic of the rinsing liquid which is representative of the proportion of blood contained in the rinsing liquid having contacted the wound. The device of the invention is designed such that it permits controlling the temperature of the rinsing liquid and consequently of the bleeding location and of its surrounding area, in order to keep them on a preselected temperature.
