Abstract
A suture for binding fractured bone parts together, when placed around a bone, to enhance regrowth and healing of the bone. The suture comprises a resilient monofilament material having continuously occurring contact areas uniformly separated from each other by non-contacting spaces to permit the continuity of blood vessels nerve channels, body fluids or other body parts from one side of the suture to its other side when the suture is under tension around a bone or cartilage.
