摘要：
Anisotropic reinforcements and synthetic materials are provided in which the fibers, mesh, weave, or otherwise interlaced or networked components thereof are oriented in one direction so as to create greater stiffness in the one direction of the patch relative to other directions of the reinforcement. Methods of producing such anisotropic reinforcements are provided. The anisotropic reinforcements are advantageously suitable for the surgical repair of incisions, openings, defects, etc. of the cardiovascular system and allow healing to occur while preserving mechanical function, particularly ventricular function.
