My hospital has stockpiles for cloth that only accept plant cloth/threads.  My Medics are assigned to the hospital by burrows.  That's the easy way I think.

He is now Urist Austin, the six million dollar dwarf. We can rebuild him, one strand at a time.

Strands disappear after time, right? Are they removed and reused or absorbed into bloodstream?

They WILL use bluemetal strands, and you can't stop them.

They will use whatever thread, cloth, and splints are the highest value, and they have access to. Use burrows.

Melt the strands asap into wafers. THen you only get the odd adamantine armor stand, or one lucky adamantine sword I got.

I don't usually build cloths industry, so my strands stay in the workshops. And I got dedicated workshops for strand extraction in my forges.

my coffers in my hospital is usually full with regular thread also. Not haven any admantine sewen into a dorf yet.

Put your valuables behind a door, and lock the door.

I throw all of my gold, cotton candy, coins, and just recently shells into a vault and lock the vault.

In .25, unless you set aside a stockpile to only accept before you produce the addy threads(metal threads) and turn off metal strand in you main cloth/silk thread stockpile, you are in trouble. Once the different threads get intermingled, without seperate stockpile, you have no hope of separating them.
 Look on the brightside, addy sutures are shiny

Should you fail to comply, strict !!disciplinary actions!! will be taken. Also, we feel we should remind you that one of the "criminals" on your list is the chief medical dwarf. If he ends up too badly injured to do his job, you will be fired. Out of a magma cannon.
