Medical Fabric Warp Knitting
Warp Knitting is a type of knitting in which the yarns generally run lengthwise in the medical fabric. The yarns are prepared as warps on beams with one or more yarns for each needle. Examples of this type of knitting are tricot, and double needle bar knitting.
Medical Fabric Weft Knitting
Weft Knitting is a type of knitting, in which one continuous thread runs crosswise in the fabric making all of the loops in one course. An example is circular knitting.
