surgical steel
Implant-safe metal blend
Surgical steel is a grade of stainless steel used for medical instruments, implants, and body jewelry.
The term suggests corrosion resistance and biocompatibility—it won't rust or cause allergic reactions in most people.
The piercer only uses surgical steel.
The designation is informal rather than standardized, so quality varies by manufacturer.
