Assessment of PFA-100 system for the measurement of bleeding time in oral surgery.

Unlabelled: The common diagnostic methods to know primary hemostasis have been classified as invasive, depending on the operator, difficult to reproduce and at times not very reliable. Thus, different systems have been proposed to assess bleeding time, one of them being the PFA-100 device, which we present in this paper.

Objective: Compare specificity between the traditional Ivy method with the PFA-100 system to measure bleeding time.
