Answer 1

This implant is a newly developed surgical device. It is a biodegradable material impregnated with antibiotics (gentamicin) and is left behind in the wound to prevent wound infection.

There is seemingly some success with it in sternal wounds (quite important ones not to get infected because below the skin, then there is the bone (osteomyelitis), and not far below that is the heart (myocarditis)!)
