<p>A method for making a twisted wire connection, particularly as utilized in surgical procedures, with reduced incidence of breakage comprising tensioning and twisting such wires without sliding pressure contact against a stationary frictional surface. A rolling surface, movable with the wires, is utilized whereby stress and scoring of the wires is substantially reduced by minor or imperceptible increments to avoid shock wave transmission and degradation of the wires. Twisting of the wires (8) is effected uniformly (with reduced stress concentration) by maintaining a constant axis for the wires (8) during twisting. A device (40) having rolling member (65, 66), a one way roller clutch (42), and a stabilized base (41) for effecting such method is also described. </p> |
