TissueDB/Materials/Cloth, Knitted

Knitted cloth (jersey, interlock, stretch fabric) provides elastic recoil and conformability for simulating tissues requiring stretch and deformation. Knitted textiles stretch along one or both axes, making them suitable for organ surfaces and elastic tissue layers where woven cloth is too rigid.

Tissues

Tissue	Visual	Tactile	Simulator	Notes
Skin	Partial	Partial	—	Stretch jersey fabric over foam core to simulate skin surface; use cotton jersey for bi-directional stretch approximating skin elasticity. Suitable for surface deformation training.
Peritoneum	Partial	Partial	—	Layer single-ply knit fabric over organ models to simulate peritoneal membrane; select thin interlock knit for conforming to irregular surfaces. Conforms to irregular surfaces without wrinkling.
