A bone-knitter, also known as a bone fuser,[2] or a bone welder,[3] was a medical tool that could repair broken bones.
Description[]
Bone-knitters repaired fractures to bones,[4] and were inserted into a wound to treat the bone.[5] Tools such as bone stabilizers and spray splints kept the broken limb immobile and protected until the patient could be taken to a medical facility where a bone-knitter could heal the wound completely.[1] After the bone was treated, it left behind a feeling that was likened to bee stings.[6]
History[]
Waywa Fybot was treated with a bone-knitter onboard the Millennium Falcon to repair his broken legs, suffered during an attack on the vessel by Renatasian militants.[7]
X-7 used a bone fuser to set his nasal bones in a new configuration after purposely breaking them in order to disguise his face.[2] Han Solo was treated with a bone-knitter to mend his fractured ribs and leg after being captured by Moruth Doole on the planet Kessel.[4]
