Definitions

  • FIG. 25 illustrates an example pattern layout for the single needle bed mesh according to aspects of the present invention.
  • variations of the surgical mesh pattern are demonstrated for the Single Needle Bed including knitting with an added warp bar in place of using a weft bar insertion. These variations include knitting with the node lock yarns while moving it perpendicularly to one or more wales. These variations may include, but are not limited to, knitting either an open or closed chain stitch in either all or alternating courses. Utilizing a third warp bar, as opposed to a weft bar insertion can also be applied to the double needle warp knitting machine.
  • FIGS. 16-20 illustrate respective example meshes 1600 , 1700 , 1800 , 1900 , and 2000 that are produced on a double needle bed weft knitting machine.
  • the meshes 1600 , 1700 , 1800 , 1900 , and 2000 demonstrate shaping of a mesh for a breast support application according to aspects of the present invention.
