Abstract: An implantable, pliable silk device (e.g., in a form of a knitted mesh) for use in human soft tissue support and/or repair that provides stretch or pliable properties, e.g., multi-directional elongation properties. Such a device permits physicians or users to alter or manipulate the device dimension and/or shape at the time of device implantation, thereby permitting the device to conform to the contour of a target area or tissue more easily and providing more precise positioning of the device over the target area or tissue. In some embodiments, the implantable pliable silk device comprises a knit pattern feature that substantially prevents unraveling and preserves the stability of the mesh when cut. For example, the pliable silk device is a knitted mesh comprising at least two yarns laid in a knit direction and engaging each other to define a plurality of nodes.
