Nanocell implant

Nanocell implants were a type of medical nanotechnology in use by the time of the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. In 20 BBY, the Republic's Major N'do Maetrecis contracted an unknown disease from the swamps of the planet Drongar after receiving a heart transplant from Republic Mobile Surgical Unit personnel. Medical staff tried using nanocell implants and other medical interventions to cure him, though each was unsuccessful and the officer's state deteriorated. Maetrecis ultimately only recovered after Doctor Zan Yant began giving him illegal dosages of the healing plant bota, which the surgeon Jos Vondar scolded his colleague for.
