Le fil Telatrast® est solidement tissé dans Telacomp® de sorte qu’il n’y a aucun risque que celui-ci se désolidarise de la compresse.
Même si, dans des conditions exceptionnelles, une compresse venait à être oubliée dans le corps, une simple radiographie permettrait toujours de la localiser.
La fibre Telatrast® contient 60 % de sulfate de baryum et répond ainsi aux exigences de la technique radiologique moderne.
Grâce aux bords rentrés, la compresse Telacomp® peut être dépliée plusieurs fois sans que les fibres ne se détachent aux extrémités.
The second link above has a nice photo of the folding (PDF, I re-typed a little of it but I can't copy from them).
