Description:
The complex shape is made from a 17-4 PH stainless steel. The lower jaw is a critical component in suturing tha places uniform stitches to a torn rotator cuff, alowing independent grasping and suturing with the one hand. The part is made to a density of 7.7 g/cm3 and has a typical yield strength of 106,000 psi.
