Pericardiocentesis-assist device is necessary for reducing medical accidents. One of the elements constituting the pericardiocentesis-assist device is a gripping mechanism of the pericardium. In this study, we aimed to identify the force that the proposed device could hold the pericardium without slip. Static friction force between the pericardium and a stainless steel and elastic force of the pericardium were measured. Grip force was determined to 20.3N.
