Methods of making a composite fabric for use in or as a medical implant component are disclosed whereby the method includes the steps of providing a textile comprising at least one strand having titer of 2-250 dtex and comprising fibers made from a biocompatible and biostable synthetic polymer; determining locations on the textile where a cut is to be made for an intended use of the textile; optionally pretreating the textile at least at the determined locations on at least one side of the textile with a high-energy source to activate the surface; solution coating the textile at least at a determined location with a coating composition comprising a biocompatible and biostable polyurethane elastomer and a solvent for the polyurethane; removing the solvent from the coated textile; and laser cutting the coated textile as obtained at least a one coated location with an ultra-short pulse laser; to result in a composite biotextile wherein polyurethane is present in an amount of 2.5-90 mass % based on composite biotextile and polyurethane is present at least at a laser-cut edge.
