Subdermal implants or subdermals are special communication devices placed in the cochlear (or inner ear) and vocal cords of Splinter Cells so they can receive radio transmissions with Third Echelon via a special earpiece (i.e. "cochlear implant") from virtually anywhere without the risk of being heard by surrounding enemies as well as voice messages from them via satellite. They can also communicate with Third Echelon via a PTT (Push-To-Talk) transmitter that translate data for use with a voice synthesizer located at Third Echelon's headquarters. The only drawback is that the device can malfunction while underground and the signals can be picked up by the enemy.
