Bleeding time is a medical test that assesses the function of platelets and the ability of blood to clot properly. It measures the time it takes for bleeding to stop after a standardized skin puncture. Prolonged bleeding time can indicate platelet dysfunction, certain blood disorders, or the effects of medications that impact coagulation. However, it is less commonly used today due to the availability of more specific tests for assessing hemostasis.
