A delivery system includes a catheter with a removable constraint. The removable constraint is a knit tubular construct. The removable constraint can be used, for example, to constrain a medical device to a delivery configuration. The removable constraint may include one or more fibers or strands arranged about the device to maintain the device in a constrained or delivery configuration.

A removable constraining device, systems, and methods for constraining and delivering an expandable member is disclosed. The removable constraining device includes a plurality of strands interlocking to form a cover body having a length, the plurality of strands in the form of a warp knit, and the plurality of strands including at least a first set of strands and a second set of strands. The removable constraining device also includes a first release zone defined by the first set of strands of the cover body along the length of the cover body and a second release zone defined by the seconds set of strands of the cover body, the second release zone being coextensive with the first release zone along at least a portion of the length of the cover body. The removable constraining device may be released at release zones by substantially simultaneously tensioning deployment lines.

The present disclosure provides an upper for an article of footwear. The upper may include a knit element defining a portion of at least one of an exterior surface of the upper and an opposite interior surface of the upper. An inlaid strand may extend through the knit element, and a tongue and the knit element may have a common yarn at least at a forward portion of the tongue, and the tongue may extend through a throat area of the upper.

The present disclosure provides an upper for an article of footwear. The upper may include a knit element defining a portion of at least one of an exterior surface of the upper and an opposite interior surface of the upper. The interior surface may define a void. A tongue and the knit element may have a common yarn, and the tongue may extend through a throat area of the upper. The tongue may comprise a lateral edge, a medial edge, and a forward portion. At least one of the lateral edge and the medial edge of the tongue may be unsecured to the knit element. The tongue and the knit element may comprise a common yarn at least at the forward portion of the tongue.

A knitted-fabric part including a basic part knitted with at least one knitted-fabric thread, and at least one extension part attached to the basic part to form a contiguous and intact structure. At least one unravelable connecting thread attaches the basic part to the at least one extension part, such that removal of the at least one unravelable connecting thread separates the basic part from the at least one extension part.

At least one of the lateral edge and the medial edge of the tongue may be unsecured to the knit element. The tongue and the knit element may comprise a common yarn at least at the forward portion of the tongue.

Various aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward medical device deployment apparatuses, systems, and methods. The apparatuses, systems, and methods may include at least one first constraining fiber arranged as a series of multiple loops to form a warp knit surrounding the medical device in a constrained configuration and at least one second constraining fiber arranged with the at least one first constraining fiber having at least one loop arranged in a non-warp knit pattern.

At least one of the lateral edge, the medial edge, and the forward portion may be unsecured to the knit element. The tongue may be secured to the knit element at least at one of the lateral edge, the medial edge, and the forward portion of the throat area.

A polytetrafluoroethylene textile and manufacturing method thereof is disclosed. a pretreatment process is performed on a plurality of polytetrafluoroethylene yarns. In the pretreatment process, a step of extending the polytetrafluoroethylene yarns are extended, the polytetrafluoroethylene yarns are knitted into a polytetrafluoroethylene fabric, the shape of the polytetrafluoroethylene fabric is fixed, and the polytetrafluoroethylene fabric are de-knitted into the polytetrafluoroethylene yarns with a plurality of knit-assisting parts. A second knitting process is performed to knit the polytetrafluoroethylene yarns and a plurality of artificial yarns together to obtain the polytetrafluoroethylene textile.
