unimplanted
Never surgically inserted
Unimplanted describes something not implanted—particularly embryos that have not attached to the uterine wall.
The term appears most often in discussions of fertility treatment and reproductive ethics: What happens to unimplanted embryos after IVF?
It can also describe medical devices not yet surgically placed: unimplanted pacemakers.
