Homonym: implants (Botany)
Implants are medical devices that are placed inside or on the surface of the body to support or enhance bodily functions. They can be used for various purposes, such as replacing missing teeth with dental implants, providing hearing assistance with cochlear implants, or delivering medication through drug-eluting stents.
These devices are typically made from biocompatible materials, which means they are designed to work well with the body without causing adverse reactions. Implants can be temporary or permanent, depending on their purpose and the specific medical needs of the patient.
