Blood clotting: the force of retraction.
The force of blood clot retraction was measured and found to be at least 104 dyne/cm(2); this is sufficient to deform many soft tissues and to allow clots to retract in vivo.

At the cool temperature (about 86 degrees F.) of superficial venous blood in the lower extremity, blood viscosity is significantly increased, favoring stasis, the clotting mechanism is retarded, and the resulting clots are fragile and adhere weakly to vein walls. These findings may have pertinence in regard to the tendency for thrombi formed in cool vascular beds, such as those of the lower leg, to give rise to emboli.
