Abstract

Implants including stitching patterns that overlap to produce a corner-locked stitch pattern. An implant may include a substrate including a biocompatible material a reinforcing mesh sewn into the substrate. The reinforcing mesh may include a corner-stitch pattern that includes a first lock-stitch pattern and a second lock-stitch pattern. The first lock-stitch pattern may include a first upper thread and a first lower thread that interlace at a first thread interlace point. The second lock-stitch pattern may include a second upper thread and a second lower thread that interlace at a second thread interlace point. The second lock-stitch pattern may overlap the first lock-stitch pattern such that the second upper thread and the second lower thread envelope the first upper thread and the first lower thread adjacent to the first thread interlace point and the second thread interlace points.
