A capillary time, or capilllary refill time is how long it takes for your capillaries to refill. The best way to test this squeeze the tip of your finger, then let go. Time how long it takes to go from white to normal color. So a 6 second capillary time is one in which this takes 6 seconds Normally it should happen fairly quickly In the medical world anything over 2 seconds is bad
