摘要：
The invention provides a fixation device for implantation in a patient to provide support to a body component. The fixation device includes an outer construct forming a pocket and a slurry disposed in the pocket. The slurry is comprised of magnetic particles. The slurry is responsive to an electric field to modulate stiffness of the slurry. A system is provided to generate the electric field. Further, a method is provided to use the fixation device.
