Zusammenfassung:In a first aspect, the disclosure provides; a composite laminate. The laminate is made of: a first exterior layer comprising a biocompatible material; a second exterior layer comprising a biocompatible material; and a first inner layer comprising biocompatible threads running parallel to each other and oriented at zero degrees. The layers are laminated together. The disclosure further provides; a method for creating a biocompatible composite laminate. The method includes laying biocompatible threads parallel to one another to create a first middle thread layer on a first biocompatible material exterior layer, and placing a second biocompatible exterior material layer over the parallel biocompatible threads. The laminate is heated and compressed to bond the layers together.
