Surgical implants and methods are disclosed for promoting adhesion of tissue layers, where the implants comprise a longitudinal body, one or more clusters of projections extending from the body of the implant, and a hook on the end of the projection that is distal to the body of the implant, and where application of external pressure on the tissue at the site of the surgical implant causes the hooks on the ends of the projections to pierce the tissue layers and hold them together. |
