METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MANUFACTURING WOVEN RETENTION DEVICES

摘要

A method and system for manufacturing a woven retention device including: providing a loading pattern of a first plurality of filaments on a first set of tensioned carriers and a second plurality of filaments on a second set of tensioned carriers; rotating the first set of tensioned carriers in a first direction and rotating the second set of tensioned carriers in a second direction; interweaving the first and second plurality of filaments at a predetermined braid angle of intersection to form the woven retention device, wherein the interweaving creates pairs of the first plurality of filaments and pairs of the second plurality of filaments. The woven retention device can be manufactured such to include a plurality of aperture sizes, and such that each of the filaments of the first plurality of filaments and the filaments of the second plurality of filaments have an offset weaving configuration

1. A method of manufacturing a woven retention device, the method comprising:
providing a loading pattern of a first plurality of filaments on a first set of tensioned carriers and a second plurality of filaments on a second set of tensioned carriers; rotating the first set of tensioned carriers in a first direction and rotating the second set of tensioned carriers in a second direction; and interweaving the first and second plurality of filaments at a predetermined braid angle of intersection to form the woven retention device, the woven retention device having an inner diameter, wherein the interweaving creates pairs of the first plurality of filaments and pairs of the second plurality of filaments, wherein spacing in between the pairs results in a plurality of aperture sizes through the woven retention device, and wherein each of the filaments of the first plurality of filaments and the filaments of the second plurality of filaments have an offset weaving configuration.
