Abstract:
A prosthetic device includes first and second regions divided by a longitudinal line extending between the first and second ends of the device. The device has a continuously knit elasticized fabric layer including a first set of yarns located about a circumference of the device through the first and second regions. The fabric layer has different knit structures in the first and second regions to obtain different elasticity while sharing the first set of yarns so that the first region has a first elasticity, and the second region has a second elasticity greater than the elasticity of the first region. An elastomeric layer secures an interior surface of the fabric layer.

Claim (Index 20):
The prosthetic device of  claim 19 , wherein the plurality of circumferential first rows are arranged such that in the second section the tuck stitches of the repeating pattern of each circumferential first row are longitudinally aligned with the tuck stitches of the plurality of circumferential first rows so as to form a plurality of longitudinal columns of longitudinally aligned tuck stitches, the plurality of longitudinal columns extending from the first end to the second end and parallel with the longitudinal line, the plurality of longitudinal columns of longitudinally aligned tuck stitches alternating with longitudinal columns comprising only longitudinally aligned knitted loop stitches and extending from the first end to the second end; and\n wherein the plurality of longitudinal columns of longitudinally aligned tuck stitches are arranged to reduce the first elasticity relative to the second elasticity such that the first region contracts relative to the second region and causes the prosthetic device to form the arcuate profile in the relaxed state and unstretched state.
