List two biomedical applications of metals. Solution Metal plates made from stainless steels, titanium alloys are used for the bone fracture fixation. Stent and artificial valves made from metal are used in cardiovascular implants. Metals (CoCr - copper-chromium) are also used for making the artificial joints. Biodegradable metals are also used to provide temporary healing support to tissues in certain specific diseases/trauma and progressively degrade thereafter in the body itself..
