Abstract
A new disposable bleeding time device (Hemalet®) was tested in 20 normal individuals and 11 patients with various bleeding disorders. The results were compared with those of Simplate II®. The mean bleeding time for normal individuals was 5.4 ±1.5 (mean ± 1 SD) minutes by Hemalet and 5.8 ±1 . 4 (mean ± 1 SD) minutes by Simplate II, with good correlation between the results by the two devices (r = 0.81). The bleeding time in pa-tients with various bleeding disorders were also comparably pro-longed between the two devices. The new disposable bleeding time device with a disposable blade has quick release (penetration) into skin and retraction, and offers an alternative means of a bleeding time test.Keywords
