Abstract
Sheets 0.015[image] thick were satisfactory in dogs; their use in 3 patients is too recent to warrant conclusions. A sheet of Ta 6[image] X 6[image]. X 0.015[image] costs $29.40, of stainless steel 10[image]. Cutting, shaping and molding can be done at the operating table. Analysis (%''s): C, 0.08-0.20; Mn, 1.25 (max.); Si, 0.75 (max.); S and P, 0.03 (max.); Cr, 18-20; and Ni, 8-10.Keywords
