Someone I know was given some Gore Tex dental floss to take home from his last dentist visit. Weird.

 

Gore Tex is a porous laminate component made of teflon (polytetrafluoroethane). The "Gore Tex" floss is really only thin teflon tape. W.L. Gore also makes quitar strings with out of teflon, among other things..

The Gore floss is the best stuff for quick repairs on outdoor gear too. You can sew backpacks, camp chairs, etc. and the stuff will not break.

 

They have also used Gore-tex and similar fabric as a wrap around large blood vessels that need support so they don't burst.
