Paragraph Number

29

In one embodiment, the distal end 120, or a part of the distal end 120, such as a surface of the distal end 120, may serve as an engagement feature 140. The engagement feature 140 maintains contact between the fixation device 100 and a part of the body in response to tension applied to the tissue 114 in the second direction 118 opposite the first direction 116. As the tension applied to the tissue 114 in the second direction 118 increases the pressure that the engagement feature 140 applies to the part of the body in contact with the engagement feature 140 increases.
