Abstract

Apparatuses to study elastic properties of organs and vessels in small laboratory animals, human fetuses and infants were suggested in the work. Their advantage in comparison with the existing ones is a combination of a highly sensitive intensity measuring device with quickly detachable clamps of a peculiar construction, which make it possible to examine small samples (less than 1 cm) of low solidity (no more than 300 g) and of large stratching capacity. One apparatus has a hand-operated drive, the other--an electric motor and a device for graphic registration of loading and stratching capacity. The intensity-measuring device in both apparatuses has a mobile disk attached to a motionless axis by a spiral spring; the clamps have fixing screws in the butts of a spong. Some data obtained with the apparatuses are presented.
