Why use the term 'injectable'? How else would you get an implant in there? Staples?

Surgical incision and insertion.

You mean instead of 2-3 needles and a saw injectable is just one needle?

insert is to put in between or into, while inject is to administer an injection to (someone or something), especially of medicine or drugs.

The key here being that the object going into the body can in this case be injectable, compared to other implant methods that are more appropriately described as inserting.
