Intraocular implants and methods of making intraocular implants are provided. The intraocular implant can include a mask adapted to increase depth of focus. The method of manufacturing the implant can include positioning the mask with an aperture on a protruding pin of a positioning mold portion. The protruding pin can be configured to center the mask in the intraocular lens.

A hollow fiber membrane is formed by embedding a braid having a spiral open weave of monofilaments only, to avoid a whiskering problem common in prior art multifilament braid-supported tubular membranes. The open weave is characterized by contiguous, circumferential, rhomboid-shaped areas of polymer film separated by monofilaments. When the braid is supported on a plasticized PVA cable it can be infiltrated with membrane polymer which, when coagulated embeds the braid positioning it around the lumen. The spiral weave, free of any circumferentially constricting monofilament, when embedded in film, allows the membrane to be biaxially distensible. In other words, the membrane has give not only in the axial or longitudinal direction but also in the radial direction. Give in the radial direction permits soiled membranes to be backwashed under higher pressure than in a comparable braid which is not radially distensible.

A method for manufacturing a microbe-resistant structure can include providing a structural core; providing a binding compound; and providing an anti-microbial film. The anti-microbial film can have a first surface and a second surface on opposite sides of the film. The first surface can include a surface treatment that limits a transmission of microbes, and the second surface can include a plurality of perforations. The method can further include forming a charge arranged such that the second surface of the film is facing toward the structural core and the first surface is facing away from the structural core. Applying heat and pressure to the charge can cause the binding compound to flow to substantially fill the plurality of perforations.
