A composite implant device for use in a medical application, comprising a synthetically-derived mesh that mimics particular critical aspects of a biologically-derived mesh. The composite implant device can be used for the reinforcement and reconstruction of tissues within the body and can be comprised of a majority of synthetic components and minority of naturally-derived components which mimic the structure and function of a naturally-derived mesh.

A last for forming an upper of an article of footwear includes an exterior surface, where the exterior surface includes a plurality of three dimensional structural surface components disposed over at least 50% of the exterior surface of the last.

A bandroll for a waistband for a garment, the bandroll having an absorption layer and a wicking layer. The wicking layer controls stretch properties of the absorption layer. The waistband comprises a second material and wherein a shrinkage of a material substrate of the bandroll substantially matches a shrinkage of the second material.

A multi-layered and reversible sweatband is disclosed. A sweatband may include an outer wicking sheath made of eco-friendly and antimicrobial bamboo blended with a stretchable material such as nylon, lycra or spandex. The sweatband may also include a second wicking sheath having an absorbent material comprised mainly of bamboo maintained with the second wicking sheath. These layers are preferably mirrored and stitched together in such a way that two absorbent layers are facing each other in combination with double wicking layers on each side of the side-by-side absorbent layers. The sweatband maintains its structure without the use of a fastening device and is fully reversible. The sweatband may include multiple designs and ornamentations, and can be placed on multiple body parts due to its variability in sizing based on the length and width of the fabric used. Methods of manufacturing sweatbands in accordance with the present inventions are also disclosed.

An interior material of a vehicle includes: a fabric layer made of a tricoat fabric, a foam layer disposed on a lower surface of the fabric layer, and an antifouling layer disposed at least between an upper surface of the fabric layer or the fabric layer and the foam layer. The tricoat fabric includes a combination of at least one of a polyurethane yarn, a high-elongation polyester yarn, or a polyester yarn.

Articles, such as garments, including films comprising dried aqueous polyurethane dispersions are disclosed, whereby the garment has an altered stress which is exhibited during wear of the garment. The film may be bonded to the fabric of the article to provide a fabric or film laminate.

The present invention relates to a multi-layered elastic air-permeable material structure, including an elastic cloth and an elastic film, wherein the elastic cloth is constituted of polylactic acid, has a plurality of penetrating air vents, and has a weft-direction stretchability. The elastic film is constituted of a thermoplastic elastomer material, and it also has a plurality of penetrating air vents. An upper surface of the elastic film is entirely or partially adhered to a lower surface of the elastic cloth. In particular, the elastic film has an air permeability of 17-25 cc/sec per square centimeter, and the multi-layered elastic air-permeable material structure has an air permeability of 7-10 cc/sec per square centimeter. The present invention has the advantages of weft-direction stretchability and air permeability and is suitable for applying to close-fitting clothing or diapers to improve comfort and prevent sultriness and moisture.

A wound recovery garment includes a multilayer fabric. The multilayer fabric comprises a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer. The multilayer fabric draws moisture from the skin tissues, including wounded or burned tissue recovering from trauma. The first layer removes moisture from wounded tissue without sticking to skin. The first layer is formed from compressive, elastic material that supplies compression forces to tissue. The second layer is an absorbent layer that receives the moisture from the first layer and stores tissue moisture in a sponge-like fashion. The second layer is disposed between the first layer and the third layer. The third layer is an exterior layer and is visible to outside viewers. No body fluid or blood leaks through the third layer. Individuals recovering from trauma are able to comfortably go outside without being concerned with body fluids soaking through and being visible to others.

A surgical skills training model has an elongated body including muscle, fascia, subcutaneous tissue, connective tissue and skin mimicking layers. The fascia and connective tissue layer are made from a material having a stretch direction that is aligned with a longitudinal axis of the muscle layer and the body of the model.

The present invention relates to the field of apparel and accessories and particularly to a joinable and constructable apparel comprising interchangeable and multi-functional panels, which can be customized for bearing artwork, patterns, brands, logos, themes or indicia of, for example, locations, luxury brands, sports teams, players and the like and it can be configured to form a variety of apparel accessories like head bands, scarves, arm sleeves, hidden pockets etc.
