ABSTRACT:
Methods for manufacturing texturized coverings for implants into the human body are described which generate small wells or channels on the exterior surface of the implant. Optionally, the texturized surface may be formed by affixing globules on the exterior surface of a mandrel or the interior surface of a mold, which is then coated with silicone rubber and cured. The surface may be optionally microtexturized, for example, by microtexturizing the surface of the globules by etching or sand blasting.
