| Zusammenfassung: | A suture includes an essentially rigid needle connected to a monofilament which is essentially plastically deformable in flexion, wherein the needle (1) and the monofilament (2) are joined by means of a filiform intermediate element (3) which is essentially elastically deformable in flexion. The intermediate element is very advantageously a twisted multi-strand cord and is preferably attached to the needle and/or the monofilament by autogenous welding. |
