An auxetic web structure or field structure useful for a medical implant, combining the advantageous mechanical properties of auxetic structures and stretchable interconnects in such a way as to provide an auxetic structure which is particularly stretchable, while at the same time providing sufficiently large areas which are subjected at most to only minor stresses. This structure takes advantage of the superior mechanical properties offered by auxetic metamechanical materials (hereafter referred to as auxetic) and improves their stretchability and compressibility by incorporating interconnects into the auxetic framework.
An auxetic web structure or field structure comprising:
