The invention provides new devices for implantation in a patient having irregular textured surfaces, which devices show significantly improved cellular response compared to conventional smooth and textured implants, indicating that significantly improved biocompatibility would be achieved in vivo. Methods for making such new devices and surface textures are also disclosed.

Textured surfaces for breast implants

An implant material having an implant surface comprising a plurality of tissue-contacting members arranged in a regular or irregular two-dimensional array, each tissue-contacting member having a convex curved tissue-contacting surface. Methods of preparing and using such implant materials.
