Development and characterization of a Dextran/CaCl 2 -based blood-mimicking fluid: a comparative study of rheological and mechanical properties in artificial erythrocyte suspensions

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: -based BMF was identified as the most promising, demonstrating rheological and mechanical properties that closely align with those of human blood. This research offers a refined approach to developing blood analogs that better simulate the mechanical response and flow characteristics of blood for the validation and development of blood contacting medical devices.
