Textile-Forming Expertise: 
Knitting, Braiding & Weaving

Textile engineering is a cornerstone of Solesis’ manufacturing heritage. Through Secant’s advanced textile technologies, we create tailored architectures that balance flexibility, strength, porosity, and compliance to meet complex medical design requirements. Each process is supported by a deep understanding of fiber behavior, resorbable and non-resorbable polymers, and hybrid biomaterials.

Knitting

Knitted fabrics deliver lightweight, conformable, and highly elastic structures. We control thickness, pore size, and elongation to develop textiles suited for applications where bulk, compliance, or controlled stretch are critical.

Our braiding processes offer unmatched variability in mechanical properties and geometry, producing components with controlled radial expansion, torsional stiffness, and flexibility. Ideal for vascular and neurovascular applications requiring precise dimensional control.

Braiding

Woven textiles offer dimensional stability and low porosity with superior strength. Our woven structures are optimized for implantable fabrics, grafts, and reinforcement materials requiring uniform architecture and reproducible performance.

Post-Processing for Medical Device Solutions

Medical device textiles and polymers require precise and controlled finishing to become high-performing components in devices such as stents, hernia meshes, or synthetic ligaments. 

At Solesis, we combine deep expertise in biomaterials and polymer processing to deliver advanced post-processing solutions that clean, shape, stabilize, and fine-tune textile properties such as thickness and permeability. These processes ensure every material maintains its structural and functional integrity within the human body. Techniques Include:
 
  • Calendering 
  • Coating 
  • Crimping 
  • Heat Treatment 
  • Laser Cutting (2D and 3D) 
  • Post-Finishing and Final Packaging 
  • Scouring 
  • Stitching 
  • Ultrasonic Welding, Sealing, and Sewing 

Let’s Build What’s Next—Together

Whether you’re creating a new implantable device, scaling an advanced therapy system, or transferring production to a reliable partner, Solesis delivers applied biomaterials, proven processes, and unwavering collaboration to help you realize your vision.
