-Made up of interlacing yard which cross one another at right angles
-The weft yarns run across the loom (left to right) with the warp yarn running (up and down)= creates dimensionally style implantable fabric
-The low porosity of the fabric achieve has led to their use in end-vascular grafts (blood vessels), aortic vale skirts (heart) and other structural heart implants
-Intertwining multiple strands (minimum=3) of year in a diagonally overlapping pattern
-The design is typically used for the manufacture of stitches, tubes used to replace arteries and catheters or other implantable devices
-Complex design options can be mnaufactured
-By varying the braid size and shape, mechanical properties can be tailored to suit design requirement with the ability to transition between multiple configurations such as; (solid braids, how,ow core braids, multi layer braids, flame braids)
