In October 2026 Medline patented a compression component and kit for securing or supporting medical tissue during clinical procedures.
Abstract
A compression device made of a superelastic material having a peripheral portion with an upper surface, a lower surface, and a central opening extending therethrough is provided. One or more resilient teeth project inward of the peripheral portion into the central opening and are configured to exert a biasing force in an axial direction when deformed in a direction opposite the axial direction.
