German term

PP-Gestrick

German to English Medical Textiles / Clothing / Fashion wound dressings
"Second source für grünen Faden im PP-Gestrick" This occurs in a spreadsheet of an FMEA risk analysis for a manfacturer of woulnd dressings. The sentence occurs under the heading "reason for change". I'm grateful for any ideas.

Discussion

Klaus Conrad Jun 18, 2015:
Non-woven is the term for Vlies or Vliesstoff but not for Gestrick
David Tracey, PhD Jun 18, 2015:
Harald, 'non-woven' is stated in your reference, but I don't think it is implied by 'PP-Gestrick', which would just be 'polypropylene knitted fabric'.
