Carbon Fibre Braid

Carbon Fibre Braid

Characteristics

Our carbon fibre braid range uses two types of carbon fibre size; 6K and 12K. The 6K braid is made utilising 6,000 filaments of carbon fibre per yarn, whereas 12K uses 12,000 filaments.

The practical difference between these two types of carbon fibre is that 6K carbon braid is lighter in weight per linear metre, and the smaller yarn size allows for a tighter weave, producing a prosthetic socket with a thinner wall section. The 12K braid has bulkier yarn which makes it heavier in weight per linear metre, and does not allow for such a tight weave as the 6K, and the resulting prosthetic sockets have a thicker wall section than the 6K.

Applications

Definitive prosthetic socket.
