In addition, he carried two flatiron-shaped handholds that had their bottoms covered with Velcro, an adhesive-like nylon material.

Though the operation to push the protruding gut back and close the rupture securely is not dangerous, it demands exquisitely delicate dissection and needlework because the muscle fibers are layered and crisscrossed like the Warp and woof of a carpet...
