Springs for the Medical Industry

We understand that springs are vital for the accuracy, safety, and reliability of numerous medical devices. They are particularly important in systems that require precise control, consistent force, and long-lasting performance.  

  • Pacemakers and Implantable Devices: Compression springs play a crucial role in pacemakers, facilitating the transmission of electrical signals to the heart. Made from biocompatible, corrosion-resistant metals to minimise risks of tissue reaction or rejection. 
  • Autoinjectors and Drug Delivery Systems: Springs power injection devices, ensuring accurate dosage and smooth actuation. Reliability and consistency are critical in these applications. 
  • Wearables and Monitoring Devices: In devices such as continuous glucose monitors, springs help maintain steady skin contact, providing comfort over long periods. Constant force springs or compression springs are typically used for these functions. 

We supply a comprehensive range of medical springs, including compression, tension, and torsion springs, all of which meet the strictest industry standards. A variety of materials, sizes, and tolerances are available to suit a wide range of medical devices and conditions. 

We supply a wide range of springs for medical applications, including compression, tension, and torsion springs. Our products are designed to meet strict medical standards, and we offer options in various sizes, materials, and tolerances to suit a broad range of devices and environments. 

Pressings for Medical Applications

Metal pressings provide mechanical strength, support intricate assemblies, and meet demanding hygiene and performance criteria required in medical equipment. 

  • Surgical Instruments: Pressings form essential parts of surgical tools and instrument casings, ensuring secure fits and reliable performance in operating environments. 
  • Device Housings and Component Mounts: Pressings form essential parts of surgical tools and instrument casings, ensuring secure fits and reliable performance in operating environments. 
  • Material Safety and Durability: Compliant with medical hygiene and safety requirements, our pressings are produced using corrosion-resistant, biocompatible materials that can withstand sterilisation and exposure to fluids or cleaning agents. 

All medical components must be manufactured with the utmost precision and through the latest production methods, as dependability is critical in-patient care and research. We provide tailored pressings for the medical field, utilising advanced techniques such as laser cutting, wire forming, and surface finishing to deliver optimal results.

Frequently asked questions

What Springs and Pressings Are Used in the Medical Industry?

We manufacture a wide range of springs and pressings for medical applications. Below are some of the most used types: 

 

  • Compression Springs: Used in injectors (including autoinjectors and pen injectors), blood lancet devices, syringes, and inhalers/pump sprays, essential for the daily function of drug delivery systems. 
  • Constant Force Springs: Provide steady attachment pressure in glucose-monitoring applicators and automatic fall-detection systems. 
  • Tension Springs: Found in ventilators, surgical tools, stretchers, syringes, and surgical lighting, all of which are vital elements in medical equipment. 
  • Torsion Springs: Used to create rotational movement within hospital beds, wheelchair lifts, and diagnostic devices requiring bending or twisting actions. 
  • Gas Springs: As experienced gas spring manufacturers, we supply products for a variety of healthcare uses, including flow control valves, physiotherapy and hospital beds, ventilators, CPAP machines, robotic-assisted surgery systems, and patient trolleys. 
  • Pressings and Stampings: Metal pressings form parts of injectors, diagnostic devices, lancing units, hearing protection mounts, and pump spray mechanisms. 

Yes. Whether you require off-the-shelf springs or fully bespoke designs, our engineers can develop the right solution for your medical application. We consider environmental factors, tolerances, surface finishes, and integration needs in every custom project. 

The medical sector often requires the use of surgical-grade spring materials to prevent contamination or infection. Stainless steel and other alloys are commonly used in this industry, but our experts will guide you through selecting the ideal metal for your specific needs. 

Using our advanced production facilities and specialised equipment, we ensure full compliance with industry regulations. Our processes include rigorous quality control, and we are ISO 9001 certified. We are also proud members of The Institute of Spring Technology, the Made in Britain organisation, EcoVadis, and the SBTI. 

We can help you select the right specifications for your medical components. Below are some important considerations: 

  • Material & Environment Compatibility 

Use biocompatible, corrosion-resistant alloys which can tolerate repeated sterilisation and are resistant to bodily fluids and cleaning agents. Ensure materials comply with applicable standards. 

  • Load & Fatigue 

Since medical springs may undergo millions of cycles, fatigue resistance is vital to ensure consistent performance throughout the product’s lifespan 

  • Dimensions & Mounting Constraints 

Medical devices often require springs that have tight tolerances. Consider how components fit within assemblies and automated systems. 

  • End Configuration & Tolerances 

Select end designs which offer a stable and consistent force for reliable performance. 

  • Surface Treatment: 

Additional coatings or plating can enhance corrosion resistance, a crucial feature for both external and implantable devices.
