摘要：
A carrier is sized and configured for placement in or on a tissue region. The carrierincludes at least one interior compartment. At least one ferromagnetic materialis carried within the compartment. The compartment and the ferromagnetic materialare mutually sized and configured to allow movement of the. ferromagnetic materialwithin the compartment in response to magnetic interaction with a magnetic materiallocated outside the carrier. The magnetic interaction can include either a magneticattracting force or a magnetic repelling force. The carrier can be used in associationwith a source of magnetism sized and configured for placement in or on a tissueregion outside the carrier for. magnetic interaction with the ferromagneticmaterial carried within the compartment, e.g., to stabilize the orientationof a tissue region within an airway.
