Abstract

This knit is produced on the basis of a biocompatible polymer material monofilament, whose pattern is defined by a front lap and a rear lap of yarns knitted together and determines a plurality of cells each having a substantially polygonal shape. The pattern gives the knit a multidirectional tensile behavior such as obtained by a front lap capable of being obtained by knitting according to a scheme 5-4/4-3/2-1/0-1/1-2/3-4 and by a rear lap capable of being obtained by knitting according to a scheme 0-1/1-2/3-4/5-4/4-3/2-1.
