<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a blood vessel motion simulator capable of simulating, with comparatively simple configuration, behavior of a blood vessel resulting from biomechanical load, and useful for durability evaluation of a stent, objective evaluation of anastomotic technique and the like taking the behavior into account. <P>SOLUTION: The blood vessel motion simulator 10 is constituted of: an elastic simulated blood vessel 31 in which a liquid is filled; a first and a second supporting members 32 and 33 for supporting both end portions of the simulated blood vessel 31 in the extending direction and for operating both of the end portions so as to approach/move away from each other; and a linear motor 14 for operating the first and the second supporting members 32 and 33. The blood vessel motion simulator 10 extends and contracts the simulated blood vessel 31 in the extending direction by making both of the end portions approach/move away from each other by driving the linear motor 14. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
