Abstract
An implant is provided and has an outer surface and multiple cavities. Multiple openings are formed on the outer surface and the cavities communicate with the openings. The maximum latitudinal section area of each cavity is larger than the area of the opening. The latitudinal section of the cavity is parallel with the outer surface of the implant. Therefore, the openings formed on the implant communicate with the cavities, such that the medicine applied on the implant can flow into the cavities. Further, because the maximum latitudinal section of each cavity is larger than the corresponding opening, after flowing into the cavities, the medicine would not easily flow out via the openings.
