  • Direct measurement of clamping forces in cardiovascular surgery
    Trobec, Roman ; Geršak, Borut
    Equipment for measuring the direct tip force of a clamp amr on the vessel wallis designed as an adjustable surgical clamp with strain gauges applied andconnected via an amplifier to a computer-based ... data asquisition system. A mechanical model that incorporates the resistance of tissue against momentary deformations is developed to analyse and justify measured results. In in vivo experiments on rat thoracic aorta, the minimum occlusion force, stationary clamping force and the momentary peak clamping force are measured and observedas an important cause of damages in the endothelial layer of vascular walls.
