The popularity of 304 surgical stainless steel is due to its gleaming appearance which lasts for the life of a product with just an occasional cleaning. Its excellent corrosion resistance is due to an invisible, passive oxide film that forms on the metal's surface in air. 304 Surgical Stainless Steel is sometimes referred to as T304. Hospitals use surgical stainless steel because it can be kept clean and sterile.
