nitidol clip staples Explanation: If you research the various sternal closure methods after sternotomy, traditional methods consisted basically of wiring the sternum back together: "Stainless steel single wire: These sutures can be peristernal (around the entire sternum body), transsternal (through the sternal body) or alternating trans and peristernal [fig. 1, fig. 2 and fig. 3]", whereas this nitidol staple has am "omega" shape and is in effect "open": Nitidol staple: Fig. 17: Fig. 17:MIP coronal, sagital and axial CT reconstructions of a patient with sternal closure made of one single wire suture (1), two figure-of eight wire sutures (2) and one nitidol staple (3). Note that the nitidol staple has an inverted omega (Ω)-like shape anteriorly and it is discontinuous posteriorly. http://posterng.netkey.at/esr/viewing/index.php?module=viewi... Just an educated guess on my part, mind you :) |
