Measures how long it takes a small, standard cut on the forearm to stop bleeding, with a blood pressure cuff keeping pressure steady. The time taken reflects how well platelets — the tiny cells that plug damaged vessels — are doing their job. It is used when unusual bruising or bleeding needs explaining.
