A method of manufacturing a mesh structure (2), comprises securing, for example stitching, one or more fibres (8) on a soluble support substrate (10) to form a frame (4) and a mesh (6) bounded by the frame (4). The fibre or fibres (8) are then impregnated (or alternatively pre-impregnated) with a resin which is then at least partially cured. After this curing, the support substrate (10), is dissolved to leave a mesh structure which can then be subjected to a final cure.
