Abstract: The rheological behaviour of coagulating human blood has been measured using multiple strain wave frequencies. The results indicate that coagulating blood, prior to the point of incipient clot formation, can be modelled by a modified form of the Gross-Marvin 'ladder' model, and the benefits of such modeling for blood coagulation are discussed.
