Define "use". I've had a steel rod in my leg for 14 years now. I use my leg to walk more than I use my phone.

Single-use if we bury you with it. Unless you're being cremated... then all your metal parts are like prizes or something for the cremators.

But yeah, I think "surgical" is used the way we used to say "space age plastics" and such.
