What type of paint is safe for use in medical devices?

I need to find a non-toxic paint (any color) that is approved for use in medical devices. I'm not sure of the actual application, but let's just assume it will be implanted into someone's body, so we can make sure it's VERY safe.

Update:

okay, how about like an oil based marker? It is just to make a red dot on a part that is to be used for an implant.

    never heard of such a paint. most all medical devices that are implanted are made of different kinds of metals and maybe some kinds of plastic.
