n. (ĭm'plănt')

Something implanted, especially a surgically implanted tissue or device: a dental implant; a subcutaneous implant.

[Middle English implanten, from Medieval Latin implantāre : Latin in-, in; see in–² + Latin plantāre, to plant (from planta, a shoot; see plant).]

implantable im·plant'a·ble adj.

Anything deliberately embedded in the body, other than an organ or tissue from another body (transplant). An implant may be a drug in ‘depot’ form, to provide gradual absorption over an extended period; or a man-made replacement for damaged tissue such as heart valves or major arteries; or a permanent electrical device such as a pacemaker for the heart or a stimulator for emptying the bladder. The computer chip age promises far-reaching developments in this last area. Artificial joints and screws and plates for fixing fractures are also implants, though not usually given that name.
