Abstract
A surgical cable comprises a core segment, at least one leader segment, and an outer jacket. The core segment is made from a material having a high tensile strength and which is capable of elongation. Each leader segment is arranged axially in tandem with the core segment and comprises a semi-rigid ductile material capable of being manipulated into a desired shape. A plurality of braided fibers form the outer jacket, which surrounds the core segment and at least a portion of the leader segment. The cable is manipulated by means of the leader segments, which are preferably capable of resisting bending in response to head-on compression, thereby enabling the cable to be more easily manipulated around and through anatomical structures.
