This standard specifies the dimensions and mechanical properties and test methods of flexible wires used for fixation of tissues and implants in suturing or other forms of surgery. Mechanical properties include tensile strength, elongation, resistance to bending and torsional damage. This standard does not cover surface polishing. Note 1: The metal wire should not break when twisted and knotted, nor should there be cracks, cracks or cracks on its surface. Note 2: Metal wires may be used with other implants. In this case, stainless steel wires of composition D and E (see ISO 5832-1) may only be used with implants made of the corresponding stainless steel; similarly, wires made of high-nitrogen stainless steel may only be used with implants made of the corresponding stainless steel. For use with other high nitrogen stainless steel implants. This is done to reduce possible galvanic corrosion between the wire and other implants.
