Abstract
There is disclosed a system and assemblage for producing microtexturized surfaces on implants for use in vertebrate animals, including humans and on substrates for use in growing and developing tissues and/or cells in vitro. By using the disclosed system and assemblage, the geometric configuration and the dimensions of the microtexturized surfaces can be pre-determined to impart a customized design texture on the implant or substrate surface thereby optimizing implant acceptance by and durability in the host tissue and the in vitro promotion of the growth and development of various types of cell tissue on substrates.
