A surgical metal cable comprises wire filaments, each filament comprising titanium and having a diameter in the range 0.0015 inches to 0.005 inches (38 m to 127 m). Six filaments may be twisted about a seventh filament to form a strand, and such strands may be assembled as shown, where strand twist may be opposite to filament twist. Each filament may be pure titanium, or a Ti - Al - V alloy. |
