1. An implantable device, comprising:

  • an actively-controllable excitation component configured to deliver a pulsed thermal sterilizing stimulus, in vivo, to a region proximate a surface of the implantable device;

    at least one scaffold-forming material reservoir including one or more controllable-release ports operable to deliver a scaffold-forming material from the at least one scaffold-forming material reservoir to a region proximate a surface of the implantable device;

    a control means operably coupled to the actively-controllable excitation component and configured to regulate at least one of a delivery regimen parameter, a spaced-apart delivery pattern parameter, and a temporal delivery pattern parameter associated with the delivery of the pulsed thermal sterilizing stimulus; and

    a control means configured to control at least one component associated with delivery of the scaffold-forming material from the at least one scaffold-forming material reservoir to a region proximate a surface of the implantable device.
