Material used for bio implants is best from polymer or ceramics. Metals is not really good for implant that will react with human blood. As you can read in many papers, metal is best for bone implant.
To the best of my knowledge pure Cu is not applicable due to corrosion and ion release. In other words Cu implants if implanted barely (without any protective film or coating) would be toxic and cause systemic inflammation.
