1 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 (November 2003) DOI: /S (03)

2 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  , DOI: ( /S (03) )

3 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  , DOI: ( /S (03) )
