Factor VIII Deficiency (Acquired Hemophilia) - Medical Illustration, Human Anatomy Drawing
This stock medical exhibit features a very simplified and easy to understand comparison of normal blood clotting vs. Factor VIII deficiency with inadequate clotting. This exhibit offers an overall understanding of the importance of Factor VIII in the clotting process. The exhibit begins by illustrating the normal clotting mechanism. A series of cut-away views of a normal artery showing blood flowing through the lumen. This blood contains multiple tiny shapes inside it including small fibers representing clotting factors and small bright green dots representing Factor VIII. The first image illustrates normal anatomy with a text label pointing out that normal blood contains a variety of clotting factors. The second image shows a small cut in the vessel wall leading to a small amount of hemorrhage as blood oozes from this wound. At the site of the wound, we'll show an accumulation of other various clotting fibers and the beginnings of the formation of a blood clot within the wound. The final image shows a clot completely sealing the wound and stopping the bleeding. Text labels for these images describe how Factor VIII activates other clotting agents that clump together forming a clot to stop bleeding. Also, a similar series of images is included to illustrate a similar series of events in a patient with Factor VIII deficiency. In the first image the blood is the same but there aren't green dots representing Factor VIII. The second image shows the perforation of the vessel and the initial vessel. The third image illustrates the continued bleeding with no clotting factors accumulating in the wound. The final image shows continued oozing of blood resulting in a large amount of hemorrhage outside the vessel. Labels point out the absence of Factor VIII results in a failure of the activation and accumulation in clotting agents at the site of the wound with no clot formation to stop the bleeding from the damaged vessel.
"Medical illustrations are essential evidence in personal injury litigation and MLA is simply the best I've found at producing high-quality illustrations. Your illustrators are not only first-class artists, but creative and responsive. Your turn around time is as good as it gets. My clients have won over $60 million in jury verdicts and I can't recall a case which did not include one of your exhibits. On behalf of those clients, thanks and keep up the great work!"
"It is with great enthusiasm that I recommend Medical Legal Art. We have
used their services for three years and always found their professionalism,
quality of work, and timely attention to detail to exceed our expectations.
We recently settled two complicated catastrophic injury cases. One medical
malpractice case involving a spinal abscess settled for 3.75 million and the
other involving injuries related to a motor vehicle accident settled for 6.9
million. We consider the artwork provided by MLA to have been invaluable in
helping us to successfully conclude these cases.
I highly recommend MLA to anyone seeking high quality, detailed medical
legal artwork."

"[Your staff] was extremely efficient, cooperative and gracious and [their]
efforts produced a demonstrative exhibit that we used effectively throughout
our trial. The jury verdict of $3,165,000.00 was, in no small measure, due
to the impact of the demonstrative evidence. You may be sure that we will
call again."

"Our firm was able to settle our case at an all day mediation yesterday and
I am confident that the detail and overall appearance of the medical
illustrations significantly contributed to the settlement. When we require
medical illustrations in the future, I will be sure to contact [MLA]."
