Fiber strand and implantable supporting body having a fiber strand
First Claim
1. A fiber body for an implantable supporting body comprising a plurality of cords (30) forming a sheath (36) that surrounds a core, wherein each cord (30) comprises a plurality of fiber strands (10), wherein each of the plurality of fiber strands comprises at least two individual fibers (12), characterized in that the at least two individual fibers (12) are each shorter in their longitudinal extent than the longitudinal extent (14) of the fiber strand and their transverse extent is thinner than the transverse extent (16) of the fiber strand.
