TissueDB/Materials/Wire
Wire is a bendable metal strand used in low-cost surgical simulators, either as a shaping scaffold that holds a soft structure in an anatomical form, or as a linear stand-in for a vessel or cord. This is a stub page: it records the builds that use wire today and needs expert review before it is treated as complete.

| Bronchoscopy Anatomical Trainer (Di Domenico) | Iron wire. | |
| Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair Simulator (Hanssen) | Blue electric wire represents the epigastric vessels and red electric wire the spermatic vessels; the source assigns one wire to each. |
