  2. Thread (yarn) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_(yarn)

    Some threads can be used for applications up to 800 °C (1472 °F). There are a variety of different sewing threads available which have different applications and benefits. Kevlar-coated stainless steel sewing threads have a high-temperature and flame-resistant steel core combined with Kevlar coating designed to facilitate easier machine ...

  3. Surgical suture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surgical_suture

    Tensile strength: the ability of the suture to hold tissues in place without breaking. Elasticity: the ability of the suture material to adapt to changing tissues such as in cases of edema. Tissue reactivity: inflammatory response of the surrounding tissue that can cause materials to break down quicker and lose tensile strength.

  4. Units of textile measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Units_of_textile_measurement

    Textile fibers, threads, yarns and fabrics are measured in a multiplicity of units.. A fiber, a single filament of natural material, such as cotton, linen or wool, or artificial material such as nylon, polyester, metal or mineral fiber, or human-made cellulosic fibre like viscose, Modal, Lyocell or other rayon fiber is measured in terms of linear mass density, the weight of a given length of ...

  5. Suture materials comparison chart - Wikipedia

    Adsorption by enzymatic digestion and starts losing tensile strength on implantation from 18–21 days of catgut chromic: Adsorption by hydrolysis complete between 60 and 90 days. Always predictable and reliable: Wound support can remain up to 42 days, however tensile strength decreases to about 70% at 14 days and 25% at 42 days Tissue reaction ...

  6. Catgut suture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catgut_suture

    This treatment produces roughly twice the stitch-holding time of plain catgut, but greater tissue inflammation occurs. Full tensile strength is extended to 18–21 days. It is brown rather than straw-colored, and has improved smoothness due to the dry presentation of the thread (plain catgut is wet). It is otherwise similar to plain catgut. [3]

  7. Warp and weft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warp_and_weft

    In the terminology of weaving, each warp thread is called a warp end; a pick is a single weft thread that crosses the warp thread (synonymous terms are fill yarn and filling yarn). [ 2 ] [ 3 ] In the 18th century, the Industrial Revolution facilitated the industrialisation of the production of textile fabrics with the "picking stick" [ 4 ] and ...

  8. Yarn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarn

    Yarn is a long continuous length of interlocked fibres, used in sewing, crocheting, knitting, weaving, embroidery, ropemaking, and the production of textiles. [1] Thread is a type of yarn intended for sewing by hand or machine. Modern manufactured sewing threads may be finished with wax or other lubricants to withstand the stresses involved in ...

    Sewing threads is the major component that accounts around 60% followed by labels at 19%, interlinings at 8%, shoelaces and zip fasteners at 5%, and Velcro and umbrellas at 2%. Clothtech is a significant division of the technical textile sector, contributing 7% to the overall technical textile industry.
