Functional Knitted Mesh for Medical Applications

A Different Structure for Different Requirements

Some medical components require flexibility, elasticity, or conformability alongside reliable handling and functional performance. SEFAR MEDITEX® KNT adds functional knitted mesh to Sefar’s medical material portfolio, expanding the options available for application-specific component development.

Potential benefits include:

• Soft, textile-like surface through multifilament yarns
• Elasticity and stretch combined with tensile strength
• Good visibility through the open structure
• High drapability for adaptation to complex contours
• Three-dimensional structures for advanced component designs
   

Selecting the material is only one part of developing a reliable medical component. Sefar combines material expertise with processing, manufacturing, and quality support.

• Select the Right Structure
  Choose from precision-woven fabrics, knitted mesh, and other materials selected according to your functional requirements.
   
• Combine Material Properties
  Integrate woven and knitted materials to create stable and flexible zones, tailored flow characteristics, or multilayer constructions.
   
• Manufacture the Component
  Translate material, geometry, cleanliness, and performance requirements into prototypes and repeatable manufactured components.

Depending on the application, Sefar can use adhesive lamination, point bonding, edge bonding, laser cutting, and ultrasonic processing to manufacture combined constructions.
