Braiding

Braiding is a specialized technique used in the fabrication of biomedical textiles, where multiple strands of fibres are interlaced diagonally to form tubular or flat structures. This method is ideal for creating products that require high tensile strength and flexibility, such as sutures, stents, vascular grafts, and ligatures.

Braided structures are used today for minimally invasive procedures and as stents due to their unique capability to reduce its diameter due to axial elongation. The braiding process allows for customization of thickness, material choice, and performance characteristics to suit specific medical needs.

Key Applications

  • Sutures and ligatures: Flexible and strong braided structures for wound closure.
  • Self expandable nitinol stents
  • Occluders
  • Catheters and stents: Braided designs provide structural integrity and flexibility in minimally invasive devices.

Advantages of Braiding:

  • Strength and Flexibility: The interlaced fibres provide superior mechanical properties.
  • Biocompatibility: Materials such as polyester, Nitinol ,Cobalt Chrome .
  • Braided biomedical textiles play a vital role in medical device manufacturing, especially in applications requiring flexibility, strength, and biocompatibility.
