A puncture, pierce, and cut resistant fabric comprised of a plurality of sheets of solid objects arranged in a repeating pattern. The solid objects are connected so that they are slideable relative to one another. Each sheet is in a stacked arrangement with the other sheets and are slideably interconnected to one another. Rivets are placed through apertures formed in or between the solid objects to hold the fabric together and to provide the slideable interconnection between the sheets. An interconnecting material interconnects the sheets of solid objects. An interconnecting material of elastomer returns the sheets from a stretched position to a compressed position. The fabric is formed with a means for limiting the movement of the solid objects relative to one another a predetermined amount, such as an elastomeric material inherently stretchable to a predetermined limit. The fabric is twistable, bendable, and stretchable. It is constructed of material that will withstand cutting, puncture, and piercing forces encountered in medical or other environments. |
