A method for apposing one body to another across a soft tissue interface which minimizes relative movement between the two bodies by using normal constraints to attenuate skin motion artifacts. Apparatuses based on this method consist of a multiplicity of contact surfaces and means for applying seating forces; and may include adjustment mechanisms for accommodating a range of body sizes and if desired sensing means to permit compensating for small relative motions and monitoring correct performance of the system may be provided.

Why it's free to use
- Filed September 15, 2000. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended September 15, 2020.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by September 15, 2022.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
