Abstract:
The present invention provides, among other things, implants including a biocompatible substrate, wherein the substrate includes a plurality of pores, such as trabecular and/or dodecahedral pores, and wherein said implant is configured as a transcutaneous implant. In some embodiments, provided implants may comprise multiple layers with differing pore densities, geometries, and/or distributions.
