  • Publication number: 20230304199
    Abstract: This three-dimensional knitted textile insert is obtained in a single step by warp knitting technology, on a double-needle Raschel machine or on a crocheting machine. It includes in the production direction at least two tubes extending parallel to one another, and separated from one another by a binding area at the level of which the sheets resulting from the knitting are interlinked.

  • Publication number: 20220192815
    Abstract: This vascular stent graft (1) is formed of a tubular knitted textile structure, integrating within the meshes of said knitted textile structure at least one helical continuous weft yarn (3) extending all along the major dimension of the stent graft. Said at least one stent graft (3) is made of a shape memory alloy having previously been submitted to such an education, and in particular such a thermomechanical treatment that, at the human body temperature, said yarn gives the structure its tubular shape by superelasticity or shape memory effect.

  • Publication number: 20210353958
    Abstract: A device for the treatment of patients by phototherapy includes a first multiple-use portion, formed of a flexible textile structure, including radiation generators formed by knitting and integrating optical fibers. At least one end of the optical fibers is connected to a light source, and the optical fibers are integrated in the knit stitches or positioned in partial wefts in the knit, to emit light due to the exceeding of their limiting bending angle, according to the so-called “macro-bending” technology. A second single-use portion, removably associated with the first portion, is intended to come into contact with the treated patient, and capable of diffusing towards the latter the light emitted by said first portion.

  • Publication number: 20100040810
    Abstract: This textile support is intended for the preparation of a tufted product such as an artificial grass or a carpet. It comprises at least one woven or non-woven lay. Technical yarns extend in one or two directions and are joined to the said lay for reinforcing it by knitting on a warp knitting machine, the said technical yams extending on the one hand in the warp direction and on the other in the weft direction on all or part of the width of the said lay.

  • Publication number: 20100029154
    Abstract: A composite geotextile or construction product for reinforcing a stratum of concrete or of bitumen comprises at least one reinforcing grid consisting of yarns which are mechanically strong in the warp and/or weft directions. It further comprises at least one layer of an openwork textile produced by weaving or knitting, the openwork textile having openings that are smaller than those of the meshes of the grid, the openwork textile being knitted with the grid by means of at least one knitting yarn, in order to obtain a substantial miscibility of the concrete or the bitumen in the composite textile product.
