Surgically implanted Clause Samples

The 'Surgically implanted' clause defines what constitutes a device or object that has been placed inside the body through a surgical procedure. Typically, this clause clarifies that only items introduced into the body by a licensed medical professional during surgery are considered surgically implanted, and may specify exclusions such as temporary or non-invasive devices. Its core function is to ensure clarity in contracts or policies—such as insurance or medical agreements—by precisely delineating which devices or treatments are covered or regulated under the term 'surgically implanted,' thereby preventing misunderstandings or disputes.
Surgically implanted devices and any associated external devices, except for cardiac pacemakers, intraocular lenses, cochlear implants, artificial joints, orthopedic hardware and vascular grafts. Dental appliances, other corrective lenses and hearing aids, including the professional fee for fitting them, are not covered.
