A method for creating a surgical mesh includes heat treating a plurality of fibers; knitting the plurality of fibers into a mesh; and heat treating the mesh by applying heat at a temperature that falls within a range of 65 degrees Celsius to 110 degrees Celsius while subjecting the mesh to a tension that falls in a range of 4.0 Newtons per centimeter (N/cm) to 32.0 N/cm for a period of time that falls in a range of 1 hour to 9 hours.

The present invention relates to an adherent interface dressing intended for application directly to a wound. Said adherent interface dressing includes a non-adherent cohesive gel formed from a hydrophobic elastomeric matrix consisting of a styrene-(ethylene/butylene)-styrene or styrene-(ethylene/propylene)-styrene triblock elastomer optionally associated with a styrene-(ethylene/butylene) or styrene-(ethylene/propylene) diblock copolymer; said elastomer plasticized by means of a mineral oil, and containing dispersed therein a small quantity of hydrophilic particles of a hydrocolloid; and a flexible open-mesh fabric, said fabric including threads coated with the non-adherent cohesive gel such as to leave the meshes substantially unsealed, The fabric is a heat-set knit with weft yarns, said yarns being continuous multifilament yarns with non-elastic filaments, whereof the extensibility in the transverse direction measured in accordance with standard EN 13726-4 is between 0.01 and 0.5 N/cm.

A knitted element may include at least three zones. The first zone may include terry loop knitting. The second zone may include mesh knitting. The third zone may include jersey knitting. The knitted element may include at least one seamless transition between the first zone and the second zone, or between the first zone and the third zone so that terry loop knitting is continuous with either the mesh knitting or the jersey knitting. The first zone, the second zone, and the third zone may each include wool knitting. The terry loop knitting may be adapted to provide warmth in areas where it is needed, while the mesh knitting may be adapted to provide breathability in areas where it is needed. The jersey knitting may provide an intermediate level of warmth and breathability.

A woven textile for shoe upper includes a main body. The main body includes a woven portion and at least one braiding portion. The main body defines a horizontal direction and a longitudinal direction. The woven portion includes a plurality of longitudinal threads aligned along the horizontal direction. Each of the longitudinal threads extends along the longitudinal direction. Two ends of the woven portion along the longitudinal direction are a first end and a second end. At least one of the longitudinal threads extends and is knotted itself from the first end or the second end of the woven portion away from the woven portion to form the at least one braiding portion.

The invention relates to a protective sheath designed, in particular but not exclusively, for an aircraft. The conduit is flexible and can have a small radius of curvature able to be obtained without torsion and allowing access, over the majority or entirety of its length, to the electrical wire or cable inside. The protective sheath (1) comprises a flexible body generally having a cylindrical shape, the flexible body being slit along at least a certain length and along a longitudinal axis, characterised in that the body has an open-work wall and in that the sheath is capable of being deformed along its length in order to be compressed/compacted on itself.

A knit component may include a knit-in tensile area, which may include an opening at least partially bounded by a first intersecting portion and a second intersecting portion. A course of tensile material that is integrally knitted with the first intersecting portion via a knit stitch may include a float extending from the first intersecting portion, across the opening, to the second intersecting portion. A knitting method may knit courses of the knit component on needle beds and then widen and/or narrow parts of the opening by transferring stitches of one of the courses of the knit component to different needles.
