(A) Two identical SLS 7 WEB devices are shown. (B) One device was placed into a 6 mm tube, resulting in adequate compression and corresponding lengthening of the height of the device by 1 mm. The second device was placed into a 10 mm tube and was therefore not under lateral compression. (C) Identical weights were loaded onto the devices. The compressed WEB is able to maintain its shape under the load while the WEB that is not laterally compressed cannot maintain its shape.
