Abstract
An expandable braided product having greatly reduced tendency to splay at its ends when cut is provided by coating the braided product with a thin layer of elastomeric material which provides the desired anti-splaying property, while retaining the expandable characteristic whereby the product expands laterally when compressed longitudinally and when released returns to its original size and shape.
