An implant device 10, 10a including a hollow or planar body 14 or 14a defining a mesh covering. A bioactive agent(s) is incorporated into or onto the body 14. The body 14 can include a woven, knitted, and/or nonwoven fabric 30, 36, 37 and/or a polymeric film 38, each having a plurality of desirably sized openings 18. The implant device 10, 10a is used in combination with a bone implant 16 to define an implant system 12. In one embodiment, the bone implant 16 includes an outer surface 44 that is generally covered by the implant device 10, 10a so that the hollow or planar body 14, 14a covers and conforms to at least a portion of the outer surface 44 of the bone implant 16. After implantation of the implant system 12, a desirable area of the outer surface 44 of the bone implant 16 is in direct contact with bone tissue. This secures primary stability and subsequent bone on- and in-growth for secondary stability.
