Abstract:
A fabric medical device and method of making the device can include warp yarns and fill yarns woven together to form a first tubular extent having a first diameter, a second tubular extent having a second diameter, and a transition tubular extent having a graduated diameter between the first and second tubular extents. A tapered edge can be formed along the transition tubular extent by weaving such that a graduated number of warp yarns are disengaged along the transition tubular extent. A seam can be woven along the tapered edge that is configured to provide a substantially fluid-tight transition between the first and second tubular extents. The device can further include the warp yarns in at least the transition tubular extent having a tenacity higher than the tenacity of the fill yarns. The device can be a bone filler delivery device adapted to deliver bone filler in an internal body region.
Abstract:
A fabric having first section and having first pores created by the interlacings of yarn in a first pattern, and having a first average pore size. The fabric also includes a second fabric section having second fabric pores created by the interlacings of yarn in a second pattern, and a second average pore size. The number of first interlacings of yarn is greater than the number of second interlacings of yarn. The first fabric provides strength to the second fabric. The first fabric pattern designed to mitigate any unravel of a second pore yarn in the event it is severed.
Abstract:
Un tejido (10), que comprende: una capa (20) de base de hilo tejido (31); y una capa (30) de bucle que comprende una pluralidad de bucles de hilo (31), teniendo cada bucle (32) un tejido de punto (33) en la capa (20) de base, en donde el tejido (10) puede ser comprimido a partir de una configuración (40) no comprimida, en la cual cada bucle (32) tiene un vértice (34) que se extiende sustancialmente perpendicularmente hacia fuera (42) de la capa (20) de base, en una configuración de base (41) comprimida, en la cual cada bucle (32) está colapsado sobre la capa (20) de base, y en donde el tejido (10) tiene poder de recuperación para reasumir la configuración (40) no comprimida cuando se libera la compresión, caracterizado porque el hilo (31) de la capa de bucle comprende un hilo de múltiples filamentos que tiene 5,5 dtex a 22 dtex, es decir, 5 - 20 denier, por filamento.

Abstract:
A system, method and fabric having a dimensionally stabilized pore. The system has a mesh fabric having a pore, such pore having a first pore perimeter. The system has a support having a support outer perimeter. The support is received into the pore so that the pore perimeter is in contact with the outer support perimeter. When the fabric is thermoset, the pore permanently assumes the shape of the outer support perimeter.

Abstract:
An elongation resistant fabric, devices, and methods can include an elongation resistant yarn laid in a knit structure of the fabric between knit loops in selected adjacent wales and partially about the loop in one adjacent wale in predetermined courses. In this manner, the fabric can be adapted to resist elongation in a walewise direction along the length of the fabric. The elongation resistant fabric can be a mesh fabric. In a mesh fabric, the size and a shape of pores in the fabric can be maintained when the fabric is pulled in the walewise direction. The elongation resistant yarn can have a diameter larger than the individual diameters of other yarns in the fabric. The elongation resistant yarn can be, for example, a monofilament yarn, such as a polypropylene or polyester monofilament yarn.

Abstract:
The improved multifilament structure is a low denier, heat treated multifilament structure that provides for advantageous mechanical properties, including fray resistance, low shrinkage, high tensile strength and low elongation.
Abstract:
An integrally woven or knitted textile, such as a tubular graft or sheet, includes a base textile layer and at least one pouch or flap. In the case of a graft, the textile has at least one longitudinal tubular graft portion, and at least one pouch or flap integrally woven from at least a portion of the same set of yarns. Methods of making the same are also disclosed.
