The inserts include a compliant cushion having a clamping surface adapted for engagement with a vessel or other body tissue, the clamping surface having a plurality of integrally-formed raised patterns extending from the surface to at most 0.010 inches. The raised patterns can be repeating and uniform in nature, or random and non-uniform in nature.
