    摘要: A nonwoven fabric comprises continuous polymer filaments of 0.5 to 3 denier that have been hydroentangled in a complex matrix for interconnecting filament loops, and that is otherwise substantially free of knotting, or of otherwise wrapping about one another. A process for making a nonwoven fabric comprises continuously extruding polymer filaments of 0.5 to 3 denier onto a moving support, pre-entangling the filaments with water jets, and entangling the filaments with a second set of water jets on a three-dimensional image transfer device. An apparatus for making a nonwoven fabric comprises means for continuously extruding substantially endless polymer filaments of 0.5 to 3 denier onto a moving support to form an unbonded web, a pre-entangling station for entangling the web with a plurality of water jets, and a plurality of water jets for final entanglement of the filament web on a three-dimensional image transfer device. In another aspect of the present invention, plural precursor webs, each comprising polymeric filaments, can be employed to form a laminated nonwoven fabric.

    摘要: There is provided a woven fabric for use in endovascular grafting, said fabric being biostable, composed of substantially non-elastomeric yarn, and expansible in at least one yarn direction, preferably the weft direction. Expansibility of the fabric is achieved by introducing non-linearity into a yarn (such as polyester or polytetrafluoroethylene) used in weaving the fabric. The non-linear yarn is maintained in that form by an agent which may itself be a yarn. Following fabric formation resilience is advantageously imparted to the non-linear yarn prior to release of the agent. In a preferred embodiment the yarn is polyester and is crimped or twisted around the agent which is a PVA yarn. After weaving, the fabric is washed in hot water to heat-set the water insoluble yarn in its non-linear form and to selectively dissolve the agent. An endovascular graft comprising the fabric of the invention is also described.
