摘要：
The present disclosure provides devices and uses thereof. A devices disclosed herein comprises one or more tips, wherein the one or more tips are designed and constructed to initiate penetration by the device； and one or more protrusions in a region adjacent to each tip. In some embodiments, one or more protrusions can be constructed and arranged so that the required penetration force is reduced as compared with that observed for an otherwise identical device lacking the one or more protrusions. Additionally or alternatively, one or more protrusions can be constructed and arranged such that the required pull-out force is increased as compared with that observed for an otherwise identical device lacking the one or more protrusions.
