SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MEASURING EXTENSIONAL RHEOLOGY OF BODILY FLUID

摘要

The rheological apparatus contains a first mating surface and a second mating surface. A housing moveably orients the first mating surface to the second mating surface. A biasing member contained within the housing is connected to the first mating surface. The biasing member biases the first mating surface to move away from the second mating surface. A handle is connected to the second mating surface. The handle allows manual manipulation of the second mating surface. An extensional measurement device integral with the housing is positioned to measure a distance between the first mating surface and the second mating surface.
