The pes anserinus (PA) is composed of the combination of tendinous insertions of the sartorius, gracilis, and semitendinosus muscles.

Polyethersulfone is a new high-temperature engineering thermoplastic with an outstanding long-term resistance to creep at temperatures up to 150°C. It is also capable of being used continuously under load at temperatures of up to about 180°C and, in some low-stress applications, up to 200°C. ... While the sulfone group confers high-temperature performance, the ether linkage contributes toward practical processing by allowing mobility of the polymer chain when in the melt phase. ... Polyethersulfone is especially resistant to acids, alkalies, oils, greases, and aliphatic hydrocarbons and alcohols. It is attacked by ketones, esters, and some halogenated and aromatic hydrocarbons. 3, record 4, English, - polyethersulfone

A condition in which the longitudinal arch of the foot is reduced so that, on standing, its medial border is close to, or in contact with, the ground. It is usually associated with some degree of twisting outwards of the foot on its longitudinal axis (eversion or valgus deformity).
