A method of forming a wire trap 200 on a surface 102 of a product 101 suitable for holding a wire 300 is disclosed. The method comprises forming a wire trap 200 by deposition onto the surface 102 of the product 101 such that the wire trap 200 defines a channel 201 suitable for holding the wire 300. The channel 201 comprises a channel opening 204 and channel walls 202 203 defining a channel width that varies as a function of channel depth from the channel opening 204 to a channel base. The channel opening 204 comprises an opening width that is smaller than a maximum channel width such that, when received in the wire trap 200, a wire 300 having a diameter 301 larger than the opening width can be held in the channel 201 by an interference fit. A product comprising a wire trap 200 is also specified.
