Drug-eluting implant
Okay kiddo, so you know how sometimes when we get sick or hurt, we need medicine to help us feel better? Well, sometimes doctors need to give us medicine in a special way so that it stays in our body for a long time and helps us heal over time. That’s where the drug-eluting implant comes in.
An implant is something that gets put inside our body, like a little device, and a drug-eluting implant is a special kind of implant that releases medicine slowly over time. So if you have a problem in your body that needs medicine to fix it, like a heart or bone problem, your doctor might suggest putting in a drug-eluting implant to slowly release the medicine right where it’s needed.
The implant is made of a material that has little holes in it where the medicine can seep out gradually. That way, you don’t have to remember to take medicine every day, because the implant has got you covered. The medicine will keep releasing little by little until the implant eventually dissolves or it’s removed by the doctor.
So that's how a drug-eluting implant works. It's like a tiny superhero delivering medicine to help your body heal!
