1. A magnetic compression anastomosis device comprising:
at least one magnetic member that forms an annular shape including a tissue-engaging surface comprising a plurality of distinct pressure profile zones, where the plurality of distinct pressure profile zones comprises:
an inner cutting zone;
a fast release zone adjacent to the inner cutting zone;
a tissue fusion zone adjacent to the fast release zone; and
a relief zone adjacent to the tissue fusion zone.
