How Do Low Velocity Impact Spatters

507 Words2 Pages

Low-Velocity impact spatters are caused by blood that drops normally or perpendicularly due to gravitational interference and have the largest diameter compared to Medium-Velocity impact spatters. The bloodstains sources are usually open wounds of victims who are sustaining their injuries and surfaces full of blood. Low velocity impact spatters are circular bloodstains with a diameter of not less than 4mm. Increase in distance from the surface, increases the diameter of the blood. However, the increase would remain constant at about 1.2m from the surface. Low-Velocity Impact Spatters were created by drops of blood that travel less than 1.5m/s. Low-Velocity Impact Spatters can be caused by sustaining an injury from blunt objects. Medium-velocity
