Compressible adjunct

A compressible adjunct, comprising:

• a base portion;
• and
• a plurality of pillars, wherein the plurality of pillars comprises:
• a first support, comprising:
• a first pillar;
• and
• a second pillar, wherein the first pillar and the second pillar engage the base portion, and wherein the first pillar and the second pillar are interconnected;
• and
• a second support, comprising:
• a third pillar;
• and
• a fourth pillar, wherein the third pillar and the fourth pillar engage the base portion, wherein the third pillar and the fourth pillar are interconnected, wherein when the compressible adjunct is compressed by a force, the first support is configured to deflect a first deflection and the second support is configured to deflect a second deflection, and wherein the first deflection differs from the second deflection.

A compressible adjunct, comprising:

• a first portion;
• a second portion;
• and
• a middle portion, wherein the middle portion is disposed between the first portion and the second portion, and wherein the middle portion comprises:
• a first pillar;
• a second pillar, wherein the first pillar and the second pillar extend substantially between the first portion and the second portion;
• and
• an interconnecting member, wherein the interconnecting member is configured to engage at least the first pillar and the second pillar, wherein when the compressible adjunct is compressed by a force, the first pillar is configured to flex a first amount and the second pillar is configured to flex a second amount, and wherein the first amount differs from the second amount.
