This article covers the areas of application of metals in medicine. Metals are widely used in medicine in the manufacture of prostheses, implants, surgical instruments and diagnostic tools. Their biotechnological properties, corrosion resistance and biological compatibility make them important materials in medical and surgical practice. In particular, the importance of metals such as titanium, stainless steel, cobalt-chromium alloys, gold and silver is emphasized. The article also analyzes the effect of these metals on the human body, their safety and long-term service life. The study also covers innovations and prospects in medical metallurgy.
