    This study determined the minimum force needed to close small blood vessels, finding that minimal endothelial damage occurs even at this lowest occlusion force.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Medical Device Development

    Background:

    • Occluding small vessels is crucial in surgical procedures.
    • Understanding the forces involved can minimize tissue damage.
    • Current methods lack precise force quantification.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To mathematically analyze and experimentally validate the minimum occlusion force for small vessels.
    • To investigate the influence of blood pressure, vessel diameter, clamp width, and shape on occlusion force.
    • To assess the resulting endothelial damage from minimal occlusion force.

    Main Methods:

    • Mathematical modeling of occlusion force based on vessel and clamp parameters.
    • In vivo experimentation using 60 rat aortas (1.8-2.4 mm caliber).

  • Utilized a custom-developed variable-force clamp gauge and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

    • Main Results:

    • Theoretical and experimental results for minimum occlusion force showed high agreement (3 gm difference).
    • Scanning electron microscopy indicated initial endothelial changes at smaller radii of curvature.
    • Increased pressure led to significant morphological changes, while minimal force caused only minor endothelial damage.

    Conclusions:

    • The study provides a validated method for determining minimum occlusion force in small vessels.
    • Minimal occlusion force is associated with minimal endothelial damage, crucial for surgical outcomes.
    • Findings inform the design of surgical clamps and procedures to enhance patient safety.
