The cell attractant cavity may include a porous medium, such as, a hydrogel, containing the cell attractant, such as, epidermal growth factor. The channel may include a plurality of restrictions and expansions to assist in maintaining the porous medium while permitting the passage of attractant and cells. The device may be implanted into a patient for an extended period of time, and then removed and examined.
