Textiles for endovascular and other medical applications having a low-profile are provided. The textiles are woven, knit or braided and are formed of yarns having low (<17) denier and high tenacity (at least 7 grams per denier). The resulting textiles have a low profile, high suture retention and extremely low water permeability. L'invention concerne des textiles pour des applications endovasculaires et d'autres applications médicales ayant un faible profilé. Les textiles sont tissés, tricotés ou tressés et sont formés de fils ayant un denier faible (< 17) et une ténacité élevée (au moins 7 grammes par denier). Les textiles ainsi obtenus ont un profilé faible, une rétention de suture élevée et une perméabilité à l'eau extrêmement faible.
