Abstract
A securing device (10) for securing a first object (320) relative to a second object (322), the securing device (10) being configured to frictionally maintain its position relative to the objects and to itself, includes a device body (12) having a first end (12A), an opposed second end (12B), and a cross-sectional area. The device body (12) is formed from a material so that the device body (12) exhibits tensile strength of greater than four thousand five hundred kPa and less than nine thousand three hundred kPa. The material that forms the device body (12) has an average coefficient of static friction of greater than 0.75 and less than 1.75 relative to itself. A ratio of the tensile strength (in kPa) to the cross-sectional area (in square millimeters) is greater than 40:1 and less than 100:1. The material that forms the device body (12) can include thermoplastic elastomers, and can further include styrene.
