title: [A comparative analysis of the two approaches to the evaluation of thrombogenic qualities of the biomaterials in vitro].
abstract: The paper contains an analysis of thrombogeneticity of biomaterials in vitro with regard for the changing time of recalcification of the platelet-free and platelet-related human blood plasma after incubation with a studied sample. Two sizeless thrombogeneticity parameters are suggested for describing the thrombogeneticity of studied biomaterials irrespective of a incubation-medium composition. It was demonstrated by the example of glass granules, which were modified by various immobilized functional groups, that the measuring of re-calcification time performed after samples' incubation secures a more objective assessment of platelet-resistant properties of materials. The relative index of thrombogeneticity of biomaterials (with the above glass granules being the controls), unlike the standardized parameter, opens up the possibility to study comparatively the activating action exerted on the coagulating and anti-coagulating blood systems of the studied samples, which differ by the ratios of their surface squares to the incubation-medium volume.
