Reconstruction with the use of a sheath of fine stainless steel wire mesh
British Journal of Plastic Surgery
|October 1, 1982
Abstract:
This paper describes the use of stainless steel wire mesh as the basic material in fabricating a sheath to be inserted as a surgical implant. This sheath can be moulded into various shapes and sizes by hand at the time of operation. It has been used for reconstruction in various areas. It is inexpensive and its range of application appears to be considerable. It has been used to date in 16 patients and two cases have now been followed up for over one year.
