Abstract
Abstract The tendon and/or ligament substitute is inelastic in the longitudinal direction and is formed of a round rope having a core filament and outer filaments of smaller diameter surrounding the core filament. Each filament is encased in a tube to reduce abrasion and a cover holds the various filaments together. The construction of the filaments insures an increase in elasticity from the inside to the outside as required for biological-medical reasons.
