Less invasive hemostatic clamp is proposed and made experimentally. Clamping mechanism of this instrument is based on the conventional one, and utilizes superelastic behavior of an shape memory alloy wire. First, its clamping property was estimated experimentally without any animal experiments, considering whether the deformation property of an SMA wire affects clamping property. From these experiments, it was found that this newly occlusive instrument had less invasiveness compared with conventional ones.
