Abstract Papers have recently been published regarding the acceptability of samples obtained from the orbital venous plexus for coagulation testing (Dameron et al. 1992; Edwards and Fuller 1993; Matsuzawa et al. 1994; Salemink et al. 1994). Meetings of the committee for International Harmonisation for Clinical Pathology Testing (IHCPT) have highlighted the concerns of sampling from the orbital venous plexus (OVP), both ethical considerations and validity of data. In response to a letter to the editor (Weingand, 1994) and to enable informed and objective discussion of this topic, this paper presents coagulation data on samples obtained from the OVP, collected by several pharmaceutical companies using a variety of systems.
