An implant having an adhesive structure comprising a planar surface having two sides and rectangular cuboid-based protrusions having pyramidal tips extending from at least one of said sides, optionally having a porous basic supporting structure, and methods of making and using such implants.

Adhesive structure with tissue piercing protrusions on its surface

A laminate and process of making the laminate is disclosed comprising: a surgical mesh having first and second surfaces; and an adhesive structure having adhesive and non-adhesive surfaces, wherein the non-adhesive surface of the adhesive structure is laminated to at least one of said first and second surfaces of said surgical mesh, and the adhesive surface of said adhesive structure has protrusions extending therefrom comprising a resin having a Young's modulus of greater than 17 MPa, which protrusions are of sufficiently low diameter to promote adhesion by increasing physical attractive forces between the adhesive structure and a target surface, as measured by shear adhesion.

Adhesive structure with stiff protrusions on adhesive surface

A blood clotting substrate and device which has a plurality of oxygen plasma-treated polypropylene pillars extending from the surface of a polypropylene film.

Blood clotting substrate and medical device

Synthetic polymer substrates comprising a hierarchical surface structure of multiple domes and multiple pillars on said domes, wherein said substrate is a synthetic polymer film, said domes have diameters in the range from about 5 &#x3bc;m to about 400 &#x3bc;m, heights in the range from about 2.5 &#x3bc;m and about 500 &#x3bc;m, and said pillars have diameters in the range from about 20 nm to about 5 &#x3bc;m and aspect ratios of from about 2 to about 50, and methods of making and using them.
