Improvement of sternal closure stability with reinforced steel wires Walter E McGregor, MD, Maryann Payne, MD, Dennis R Trumble, MS, Kathleen M Farkas, RN, James A Magovern, MD The Annals of Thoracic Surgery Volume 76, Issue 5, Pages 1631-1634 (November 2003) DOI: 10.1016/S0003-4975(03)00760-4

Fig 1 Anteroposterior (A) and coronal (B) views of 3.0-mm-diameter coil-reinforced sternal wire placement. Their low-profile nature facilitates application. For clarity these figures are shown on sternal models. However, experiments were performed on human cadavers. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2003 76, 1631-1634DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(03)00760-4)

Fig 2 Plot of sternal separation versus intrathoracic pressure for sternotomies closed with standard wire and wire reinforced with stainless steel coils. Data are mean ± standard error of the mean. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2003 76, 1631-1634DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(03)00760-4)
