Figure 4. Characterization of braiding angle and picks per inch of braided constructs.

Figure 4.

A) Reflective light image of a braided construct demonstrating the measurement of a braiding angle (yellow acute angle). B) Macro-view of a square braid that was braided at the height of 37 cm and C) 68 cm. The yellow line demonstrates the length of a pick, which is defined as the intersection between two adjacent interlocking yarns. D) Braiding height significantly reduces the picks/inch of a braided construct (n = 2 for 37cm, n = 3 for 68cm).
