More Information
Summary:A warp knitted fabric is described in which each individual wale contains stitches formed from both elastic and inelastic yarn. The fabric is extensible in the direction of the wales and may be used as a substrate in an orthopaedic splinting bandage. Orthopaedic splinting bandages are also described which comprise the warp knitted fabric coated with a hardenable resin such as an isocyanate terminated propolymer. The lengthwise extensibility of the substrate makes the uncured bandage conformable during application to the body.
