Abstract

Thrombogenesis, which is the process of blood clot formation, can be initiated by platelet activation. Excessive formation of blood clot in the bloodstream can lead to thrombosis. Therefore, when dealing with patients with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) or children, it is necessary to use small amounts of blood. Hence, it is important to develop methods for the rapid and accurate measurement of the platelet function using a small amount of blood. In this study, 3D printing technology was utilized to facilitate the production of micro channels. The amount of platelet adhesion in smokers and non-smokers was compared by repeatedly exposing the structure of the channel to adjust the number of blood injections and facilitate thrombosis attachment to simple stenosis structures.
