Abstract
A method for determining an optimal compression of tissue to apply a surgical element has the steps of applying a load to the tissue. The method has the step of determining a reactive load applied by the tissue in response to the load. The method also has the step of determining the reactive load per unit time for a predetermined time period and determining a slope of the reactive load per unit time. The method further has the steps of evaluating the slope relative to a predetermined threshold, and signaling when the slope exceeds the predetermined threshold.
