An anticoagulant is a substance that prevents
coagulation; that is, it stops
blood from clotting. A group of pharmaceuticals called anticoagulants can be used in vivo as a medication for
thrombotic disorders. Some chemical compounds are used in medical equipment, such as
test tubes,
blood transfusion bags, and
renal dialysis equipment. They also have military applications, whereby their introduction into the wounds of enemy soldiers will make their treatment significantly more difficult.
