A thoracic closure device. The device has a handle member, a base member, and a feed path, and is designed to accept and, with a ratcheting mechanism, tension a toothed closure tie. A guide member is also provided, and assists in the placement of a closure tie prior to tensioning. Methods of closing a median sternotomy using toothed closure ties are also disclosed.

摘要:
A method by which consolidated articles can be produced from nanocrystalline materials to have mechanical properties that can be improved through thermal treatment. The method entails machining a body to produce polycrystalline chips having nanocrystalline microstructures, and then consolidating the chips to form a consolidated article having mechanical properties that exceed that of the body from which the chips were formed. In particular, consolidation of nanocrystalline chips formed by machining a supersaturated solid-solution body causes precipitation of a fine dispersion of precipitates in the consolidated article, with the potential for certain properties to even improve during consolidation or subsequent thermal treatment of the consolidated article.
