Specializing in Orthopedic Implant & Medical Instrument Components
James Spring & Wire provides customized medical device component manufacturing to a wide range of biotech industries. Whether the parts are used in medical monitoring equipment or critical implants, we provide the highest quality products available. Our state-of-the-art manufacturing shop allows us total quality control over the manufacturing of your spring or wire form.
In addition to the latest computerized design, inspection and CNC fabricating equipment, James Spring has a complete tool and die shop. Since we don’t have to rely on outside vendors for specialized tooling, all design and manufacturing of components like spinal implant rods, wire forms, springs, clips, fasteners, and medical stylets and more are made right here in our facility.
Passivated springs play a prominent role in medical spring manufacturing. The purpose of passivation is to remove any surface contaminants picked up during the manufacturing process, which is why it’s particularly important to the medical industry. Custom passivated springs are used to ensure stainless steel is clean enough for any medical application, whether the medical springs are being used in drug delivery, pill production, or surgeon’s tools.
Elgiloy® Springs
James Spring is proud to offer Elgiloy® springs, which are extremely high-strength while simultaneously maintaining corrosion resistance and formability. Elgiloy® is a non-magnetic alloy and performs well across a wide range of temperatures and industries.
James Spring & Wire is ISO-registered and is experienced with the exotic materials often needed in the medical industry. We can also perform qualifying testing services as required (IQ, OQ, PQ, etc.).

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of medical-device applications do you support with springs, wire forms, and stampings?
We provide components used in medical instruments, orthopedic or spinal assemblies, external fixation devices, and other healthcare-related mechanisms where precision and small size matter.
Which materials and finishes are appropriate for medical-industry components?
Common materials include stainless steel, phosphor bronze, high-performance alloys, and spring-tempered wires. Finishes may include passivation or other treatments to support cleanliness, reliability and corrosion resistance.
What design-factors should be considered early for medical-device parts?
Key considerations include: size constraints, biocompatibility or contact-safety requirements, fatigue life for instrument cycles, repeatability, tolerance demands, assembly fit, and finishing cleanliness.
What lead-times and production capabilities do you offer for medical components?
We support prototyping, short-run builds, and production volumes. Lead-time depends on geometry, material, tooling and finish. Project scale and requirements determine ramp-up timing.
How do you ensure quality, traceability and regulatory readiness for medical-industry parts?
Components are manufactured under controlled production systems to customer drawings and specifications. Dimensional inspection, documentation, and material traceability support production for medical assemblies.
Can you support custom tooling, secondary operations or value-added services for medical-device manufacturing?
Yes — we can provide tooling, spring or wire-form shaping, stamping, finishing operations, assembly or kitting services to support medical component supply-chain needs.
