Could be part of a prosthetic maybe? Google picture search has a lot of suggestions but no clear answers.

Don't think it could be anything for prosthetics, that type of steel would be too liable to cause a patient a wound, we tend to use things like leather or dacron for strapping.

Looks similar to strapping I seen for keeping rolls of sheet metal together.

Not sure, but there were three of them of varying size.
