Biomechanical investigations on compression, expansion, and flexion of tubal occluders: a finite element analysis
The sparse occluder offers high flexibility but lacks adequate structural support. In contrast, the dense design suffers from excessive deformation under compression, potentially compromising structural stability. The standard configuration provides an optimal balance between flexibility and support, making it the most promising candidate for clinical application.
