Abstract

An occlusive apparatus and method for reversibly occluding fluid conveying vessels in the body. In one embodiment, the occlusive apparatus includes an occlusive member adapted for at least partially encircling a vessel, with the occlusive member including an intrinsic spring force therein for exerting an occluding pressure on the vessel while the occlusive member at least partially encircles the vessel. A control mechanism is operatively connected to the occlusive member, with the control mechanism being arranged and configured to counteract the intrinsic spring force of the occlusive member and thereby remove the occluding pressure on the vessel while the occlusive member is at least partially encircling the vessel.
