Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9506439A1] A segment (16) of intestinal tissue from a warm-blooded vertebrate is utilized as an orthopaedic appliance (14, 14', 14'', 14'''). The segment (16) of intestinal tissue may include catgut, SIS material, hog casings, beef casings, or segments of the large intestine. The orthopaedic appliance (14, 14', 14'', 14''') can further be formed by shaping the segment (16) into a desired appliance and drying the appliance so that it will retain a semi-rigid form.
