Abstract
An insert for use preferably in vascular surgery which includes an unperforated, hollow body of substantially circular cross-section. The body is provided with a spiral line of fracture extending about the periphery of the body and defining continuous spiral coils to thereby weaken the cohesion of the body along the spiral coils so that the body may be disassembled into an elongated thread having a substantially smaller cross-section than that of the insert.
