Abstract

Hemophilia affects the blood's ability to clot due to missing proteins (clotting factors) supporting platelets during a bleeding event. This condition requires affected patients to be particularly cautious during routine checks such as dental treatments. In this work, we demonstrate the use of surface acoustic waves to aggregate blood rapidly (within seconds) in the absence of clotting factors. This has the potential to lead to portable devices for on-demand treatment of bleeding disorders.
