ABSTRACT:
A vessel loop adapted to frictionally engage a vessel of a patient includes an elongate elastomeric member having an outer surface which is adapted to be brought into contact with the vessel. A friction-enhancing structure is disposed relative to this outer surface to increase the frictional relationship between the elongate member and the vessel. The friction-enhancing structure may take the form of a woven or non-woven mesh, various projections, bristles, or granules, for example. A woven mesh sleeve is disposed over the elongate member and bonded to the member in a preferred embodiment.
