    metal (or composite) safe to be implanted into the body

    I would like to know what kind of metal (or composite) are usually considered safe to be implanted into human body. The material should be OK to be processed into any shape, and should be strong enough (for example, a thin needle can keep straight). Thank you in advance!

    Looking for a rubber-type material

    I am looking for a rubber material that can remember its original shape. It may change its shape under outside force, but can slowly restore its original shape. Sponge is a good at restoring its shape but the restore process is not slow enough. I have more requirements. 1. It is a strong...
