The present invention provides an article, comprising a fabric sheet which has been compacted using a heat shrink yam; and a curable or hardenable resin coated onto the fabric sheet. The present invention involves compacting a fabric sheet to impart stretchability and conformability to the fabric while minimizing undesirable recovery forces. Suitable fabrics for compacting are fabrics which comprise fiberglass fibers which are capable of first being compacted and then being set or annealed in the compacted state. The article may be in the form of an orthopedic bandage and may optionally contain a microfiber filler with the resin.

L'invention concerne un article qui comprend une bande de tissu ayant été compactée à l'aide d'un fil thermorétractable et une résine pouvant sécher ou durcir appliquée sur la bande de tissu. Il est prévu de compacter une bande de tissu pour lui conférer extensibilité et adaptabilité aux contours, tout en minimisant les forces indésirables qui induisent la reprise de forme. Les tissus se prêtant au compactage sont des tissus qui comprennent des fibres de verre pouvant être compactées dans un premier temps, puis durcies ou recuites à l'état compacté. L'article se présente sous forme de bandage orthopédique et peut éventuellement contenir une charge microfibreuse associée à la résine.
