1. A method of treatment, comprising:
- providing a composition, the composition including (i) a composition body, (ii) at least a first component formed in the composition body, and (iii) at least a second component formed in the composition body, the first and second components being complementary relative to each other and configured to interlock relative to each other or tissue, the composition comprising at least one of a tissue matrix or a synthetic material;
at least partially wrapping the composition around or positioning the composition onto the tissue or an implant; and
interlocking the first component with the second component relative to each other or the tissue to maintain the composition at least partially wrapped around or positioned on the tissue or the implant.
