Titanium surgical instruments offer several advantages over stainless steel instruments.

Titanium instruments are lightweight with a high tensile strength. Titanium is durable, even after repeated autoclaving. 

Titanium instruments are corrosion resistant, non-ferrous, non-magnetic and bio-compatible.

Those with hypersensitivity issues should use Titanium instead of Surgical Steel. Titanium is a preferred material for initial piercings because it's an elemental metal – it doesn't contain nickel. Titanium is as strong as steel, but as light as aluminum.
