Measurement of impact force of the heart valve prostheses during closing phase using the force sensor is presened. Mock circulation system has been fabricated and used to measure the impact force through the force sensor. The experimental results are compared with the analytical results obtained considering squeeze film effect. The dimension of the experimental results and analytical results are in good agreements. The results of this study may be extended for the mechanical stresses on the formed elements and valve components as well as to estimate the endurance limits of the prosthetic valves.
