Surgical Stainless Steel
Surgical stainless steel is a grade of stainless steel used in biomedical applications.

There is no formal definition on what constitutes a "surgical stainless steel", so product manufacturers and distributors often apply the term to refer to any grade of corrosion resistant steel. Medical grade stainless SAE 316 and SAE 316L stainless steel, also referred to as ''marine grade stainless'', is a chromium, nickel, molybdenum alloy of steel that exhibits relatively good strength and corrosion resistance. 316L is the low carbon version of 316 stainless steel. 316L in particular is biocompatible when produced to ASTM F138 / F139. It is a common choice for biomedical implants, as well as body piercings and body modification implants. Immune system reaction to nickel is a potential complication of stainless steel usage within the human body. There are nickel- ...
