In vitro approach to the dilative behavior of knitted vascular prosthetic grafts.

The purpose of this report is to propose an in vitro approach to predicting the long-term dilative behavior of knitted polyester prosthetic grafts. Various techniques were applied to five warp knitted fabric prosthetic grafts in order to determine the following fabric properties: knitted fabric structure, textile structure, number and respective linear density of threads and strands, and length of yarn in each stitch. Following these investigations, the prosthetic grafts underwent testing to determine specific strength at break, breaking extension, and stress-strain curve.
