Surgical steel 316L is a good alternative to the titanium G23 jewellery. Surgical steel 316L is a precious metal, which is very wide-spread in the medical technology as well. However, the use is limited in the piercing area to completely healed piercings. Our surgical steel 316L – jewellery fulfills all requirements of the European nickel regulation. Surgical steel 316L contains less than 0,05% nickelratio and consequently fulfills the current requirements. We recommend PTFE or titanium G23 for the first or intimate piercing.

 Titanium of grade 23 (6AL-4V-ELI) corresponds exactly to the European nickel guideline of 2001 and is extraordinary suitable for the first use. It is biocompatible and can be anodized in many colours. The titanium material offered by us is 100% nickelfree and very suitable for people suffering from an allergy.

 Bioplast is a biocompatible material, which is autoclavable. It can be tapped to every possible length, is self-tapping (with any steel or titanium ball) and extremely flexible. It causes any allergic reactions. Freely compatible with titanium or surgical steel balls. 

 PTFE is flexible and can be tapped to every possible desired length. It can be sterilized (-200°C to +260°C) and causes any allergic reactions (nickelfree). PTFE taps the thread itself.
