Implantable barrier device

An implantable medical barrier layer device, comprising:

• a barrier component having a perimeter defined by at least one pair of opposing edges, and a surface extending between the opposing edges, the barrier component comprising a cured fish oil, wherein the fish oil comprises eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexanoic acid, wherein the cured fish oil comprises fatty acids and glycerides, wherein the fatty acids are cross-linked to each other in a substantially random configuration to provide a three-dimensional hydrolytically degradable network of a bio-absorbable and anti-adhesive film, and wherein the barrier component breaks down in vivo into non-inflammatory substances consumable by tissue cells;
• at least one anchor element coupled to the barrier component, the at least one anchor element comprising a biocompatible material and having an area that is less than the area of the barrier component to provide an anchoring location on the barrier device for anchoring the barrier layer to an anatomical area;
• and
• a truss structure that extends across a non-perimeter portion of the surface between the opposing edges of the barrier component and toward the perimeter of the barrier component to provide additional support to the barrier component;
• wherein the truss structure contacts the perimeter.
