主权项

1. An implantable restraining device, comprising:
a first engaging component and a second engaging component at least substantially parallel to one another; a first swivel arm, comprising:
a first fixed arm,a first expandable arm, anda first hub,wherein the first fixed arm is pivotally connected to the first engaging component at or near a first fixed arm first end and is coupled to the first hub at or near a first fixed arm second end, and wherein the first expandable arm is pivotally connected to the second engaging component at or near a first expandable arm first end and is connected to the first hub at or near a first expandable arm second end by way of a first hub bracket; a second swivel arm, comprising:
a second fixed arm,a second expandable arm, anda second hub,wherein the second fixed arm is pivotally connected to the first engaging component at or near a second fixed arm first end and is coupled to the second hub at or near a second fixed arm second end, and wherein the second expandable arm is pivotally connected to the second engaging component at or near a second expandable arm first end and is connected to the second hub at or near a second expandable arm second end by way of a second hub bracket; and a first strap positioned at a first end of the first engaging component and at a first end of the second engaging component and fixedly coupled to one of the first end of the first engaging component or the first end of the second engaging component by way of at least one suture, the first strap configured to limit movement of the first engaging component and the second engaging component when the first strap is coupled to the first engaging component and the second engaging component; wherein the first expandable arm and the second expandable are capable of movement relative to the first hub and the second hub respectively so that a distance between the first engaging component and the second engaging component may change relative to movement of the first expandable arm and the second expandable arm.
