Surgical grade steel is 316L. It is quiet safe. Approved by concerned authorities for use in humans. It practically does not interact with human tissue in any way, in some cases it may cause bursitis die to mechanical irritation. In worst cases it may catch infection, may act as a house for bacteria to grow on, if your initially surgery had issues.
