ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to methods of treating tissue of the human body, specially, methods of promoting cell proliferation and ingrowth around implantable medical devices. The methods include inserting an apparatus comprising asperities adapted to injure native tissue at a desired anchoring location, injuring the native tissue at the desired anchoring location with the apparatus to initiate an injury response in the native tissue to thereby promote cell proliferation and ingrowth; and implanting the medical device at the treatment location.
