E-053 Creation and characterization of synthetic polymer thrombus for thrombectomy device testing

ConclusionPolymer clots are ideal for benchtop testing, with increased shelf-life and minimal biohazard handling requirements when compared to animal blood clots. The polymer clots can be delivered to benchtop vessel models and used for surgical training and device testing. Synthetic clots show substantial promise for thrombectomy device testing as their mechanical properties can be tuned to replicate various whole blood clot types, and can be altered to include fibrous and calcified clot components.Disclosures J.
