Abstract
The present disclosure provides a surgical implant device, including: a solid surface; and a lattice structure disposed adjacent to the solid surface, wherein the lattice structure includes a first plurality of struts that define a first plurality of voids adjacent to the solid surface and a second plurality of struts that define a second plurality of voids remote from the solid surface. Each of the first plurality of struts has an average cross-sectional diameter that is smaller than an average cross-sectional diameter of each of the second plurality of struts. Each of the first plurality of voids has an average internal diameter that is smaller than an average internal diameter of each of the second plurality of voids. The surgical implant device also includes a needle-populated porous surface disposed adjacent to the solid surface opposite the lattice structure.
