3D3DSuture thread.
This is a package of braided tantalum thread/wire intended to be used for sewing people up. Tantalum is used in body parts (see my skull plates above) because it's compatible with long-term exposure to human tissue. I don't know if it is still used for sutures: These are quite old.
