A sterile, multiple-strand (multifilament), non-bioabsorbable wire made of metal (e.g., surgical steel, titanium) intended to join (approximate) the edges of a soft-tissue wound or incision by stitching (e.g., for abdominal wound closure, intestinal anastomosis, hernia repair), or transosseous (through bone) stitching (e.g., sternal closure); it may include an attached needle intended to be disposed of after single use. It is used primarily in orthopaedic, neurosurgical, and thoracic applications and provides temporary wound support until the wound sufficiently heals to withstand normal stress; it may be retained for permanent support. This is a single-use device.
