What is an "implant"?
An implant is a device or material that is placed inside the body to improve bodily function, deliver medication, or for other purposes. These implants can be made of various materials like metal or ceramic, and they are used in a wide range of medical procedures. Examples include joint replacements, dental implants, implants to prevent pregnancy, cardiac implants, and hearing implants. The goal of implants is to improve or restore function in the body, support healing, or provide long-term medical treatment. They are carefully designed to work well with the surrounding tissues without causing harm or discomfort.
