A bone-knitter, alternatively referred to as a bone fuser or bone welder, represented a piece of medical equipment designed for the purpose of mending fractured bones.
Bone-knitters were utilized to mend bone fractures, being introduced into a wound site to directly address the bone injury. Devices like bone stabilizers and spray splints served to immobilize and safeguard the fractured limb until the injured individual could be transported to a medical facility where a bone-knitter could facilitate complete healing of the injury. Following the bone's treatment, the sensation left behind was compared to the feeling of bee stings.
Waywa Fybot underwent treatment with a bone-knitter aboard the Millennium Falcon to repair his fractured legs, injuries sustained during an assault on the vessel by Renatasian militants.
X-7 employed a bone fuser to reset his nasal bones into a different structure, having intentionally broken them to alter his appearance. Han Solo received treatment using a bone-knitter to heal his fractured ribs and leg subsequent to his capture by Moruth Doole on the planet Kessel.
