FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely to a surgical implant, particularly for closing an abdominal wall defect. Surgical implant comprises a superficial flexible mesh main structure including a braided material fabricated using boulder technique wherein mesh cells of generally hexagonal shape are formed from chains made in the form of a closed loops sequence. Adjacent chains of adjacent cells are connected to each other by means of at least one laid weft thread on sections forming the corresponding common side of two adjacent hexagonal cells of the grid. Laid weft thread in the area of the above common side passes at least three stitches, wherein the stitches pass through both adjacent chains of adjacent cells which form an adjacent side.
EFFECT: invention shows relatively isotropic mechanical properties, in particular, in regard to tensile strength of material, determined by breaking method.
