      A mean convex hypersurface \(M\) bounding an open region \(\Omega\) in \(\mathbb R^{n+1}\) is \(\delta\)-noncollapsed (on the scale of the mean curvature) if for every \(x \in M\) there is an open ball \(B\) of radius \(\delta/H(x)\) contained in \(\Omega\) with \(x \in \text{deriv} B\). The author proves that if every point on the initial hypersurface admits an interior sphere with radius inversely proportional to the mean curvature at that point, then this remains true for all positive times in the interval of existence as the hypersurface moves according to the mean curvature flow.
