TissueDB/Materials/Power Mesh Fabric

Power mesh fabric is an elasticised stretch mesh textile used as a substrate layer in tissue-simulating laminates. In medical simulation it is cast under silicone rubber to provide a reinforced sheet. In the one source on file, silicone poured onto power mesh makes "a stretchy, thin sheet that can be easily manipulated and cut for the assembly of the model".^[1]
