Qvanteq AG has developed a surface modification - not a coating - that renders titanium alloy-based implants antithrombogenic. Extensive studies have shown that the modified surface suppresses the ...

The second component of Virhow's triad is blood coagulation factors (proteins present in plasma). These factors may be roughly divided into two groups: zymogen (proenzymes that can be converted into ...

The coagulation cascade is a finely balanced system essential for maintaining haemostasis, yet its disruption can lead to either a propensity for bleeding or an increased risk of clot formation.

Our innate coagulation – or clotting – cascade is quite a dynamic, but formidable system. When optimally effective, it manages retention of a balanced condition between not too much bleeding and not ...

Thrombosis is a harmful activation of the clotting process, which is associated with the occurrence of blood vessel-related diseases. Pathological enhancement of the clotting cascade causes thrombosis ...
