Warp-knitted fabric and medical material

A warp knitted fabric consisting of:

• a plurality of first loop columns, each consisting of a group of consecutive loops in a warp direction, wherein each loop consists of a first yarn and a second yarn;
• and
• a plurality of second loop columns, each consisting of a group of consecutive loops in a warp direction, wherein consecutive one to five second loop columns are disposed between the first loop columns, and
• wherein each second loop column consists of
• (p) one or more loops of only the second yarn, and
• (q) one or more loops consisting of (q-i) the first yarn or (q-ii) the first yarn and the second yarn,
• and wherein said (p) and said (q) are alternately disposed;
• any two adjacent loop columns of the first and/or second loop columns are linked together;
• any three first loop columns which are consecutive through one to five second loop columns positioned between the first loop columns are linked together with said first yarn that interlaces and constitutes a part of said first loop columns and said second loop columns therebetween and said three first loop columns are linked together also with said second yarn that interlaces and constitutes the remaining part of said first loop columns and said second loop columns therebetween;
• and
• both the first yarn and the second yarn form an identical atlas pattern solely, and
• the first yarn has a bioabsorption rate lower than that of the second yarn.
