Abstract
A marking device comprises a support structure configured to transition between radially compressed and axially compressed states. The support structure comprises a plurality of substantially rectangular segments bounded by first and second tubular ends extending along a longitudinal axis of the marking device and each having a first end and a second end. At least one of the first ends and the second ends terminates at one of the first and second tubular ends. When the support structure is in the radially compressed state, the plurality of segments extend substantially parallel to one another along the longitudinal axis of the marking device. And, when the support structure is in the axially compressed state, at least a portion of the plurality of segments flair radially outward such that a central portion of the support structure has a curved shape encompassing an interior space bounded by the first and second tubular ends.
