I'm not a Doctor-so if anyone here is or is in med school, please explain.

All implants come in sterile packaging. Patients that bring their own items to the hospital must bring them in their original, unopened, sterile packaging in order to be used. That being said, patients may also bring their own medications to the hospital to take instead of using medications provided by the hospital that may charge them much more for the items.
