Claim 9:
10. A process for preparing the medical implant of claim 1, the process comprising:
providing a microstructured template, wherein the microstructured template comprises a textured surface with an arithmetical mean height value (Sa) below 3.0 μm, a developed interfacial area ratio (Sdr) above 1.0, and a density of peaks (Spd) above about 1×106 peaks/mm2, wherein the Sa, the Sdr, and the Spd are measured according to ISO 25178 using a Gaussian low pass S-filter with a nesting index value of at least 0.25 μm;
covering the microstructured template with a biocompatible polymeric material that is a solid or a liquid;
conforming the biocompatible polymeric material to textural contours of the template using one or more of elevated temperature, pressure, or vacuum;
processing the biocompatible polymeric material, when provided as liquid, until solid; and
separating a textured biocompatible polymeric material from the microstructured template.
