Lightweight quadriaxial surgical mesh

摘要

A method for making a lightweight surgical mesh, having the steps of applying a first set of filaments in a first wale direction and forming a first series of loops at each of a plurality of courses. Applying a second set of filaments in the first wale direction and forming a second series of loops at a first adjacent wale to the first wale direction and a third series of loops at a second adjacent wale opposite the first adjacent wale along the plurality of courses. Further, applying a third set of filaments in the first wale direction so that the second series of loops are formed at the second adjacent wale and the third series of loops are formed at first adjacent wale along the plurality of courses. Additionally, applying a fourth set of filaments that interlace repeatedly with the first set of filaments along the first wale direction.

1. A method for making a lightweight knitted surgical mesh, comprising the steps of:
applying a first set of filaments in a first wale direction on a single needle bed machine, each of the first set of filaments forming a first series of loops at each of a plurality of courses for the surgical mesh; applying a second set of filaments in the first wale direction on the single needle bed machine, each of the second set of filaments forming a second series of loops at a first adjacent wale to the first wale direction and a third series of loops at a second adjacent wale opposite the first adjacent wale along the plurality of courses; applying a third set of filaments in the first wale direction on the single needle bed machine, wherein the second series of loops are formed at the second adjacent wale and the third series of loops are formed at first adjacent wale along the plurality of courses; and applying a fourth set of filaments that interlace repeatedly with the first set of filaments along the first wale direction.
