anticlotting
Prevents blood coagulation
Anticlotting describes agents or actions that prevent blood from clotting.
The term appears in medical contexts for drugs like aspirin or heparin that reduce clot formation: anticlotting medication, anticlotting therapy.
It functions identically to anticoagulant but sounds less technical.
