About the Medical Industry
The modern healthcare industry depends on advanced medical devices for everything from surgical procedures to long-term patient care. From prosthetic joints to precision surgical instruments, these devices play a critical role in diagnosing, treating, and preventing illness and injury. Because they are used in sensitive applications, medical components must be manufactured with the highest precision and free from contaminants or defects. In particular, implantable devices require materials that resist breakdown from the body’s natural processes and maintain long-term biocompatibility.
As medical technology continues to evolve, components are being designed to perform in increasingly demanding environments. Manufacturers must not only comply with regulatory requirements but also meet strict performance, durability, and safety standards. To achieve this level of precision and reliability, many companies turn to medical stamping solutions. With its ability to produce high volumes of parts at tight tolerances, besides the coiled springs that Argo manufactures, their metal stamping manufacturing has become an essential process for creating reliable, high-performance components.
At Argo Spring Manufacturing Co., we provide metal stampings for the medical industry that meet or exceed FDA, ISO, and other industry requirements. Our quality management systems are designed to eliminate defects and ensure compliance, making us a trusted partner for many companies advancing healthcare technology.
Medical Applications
Medical stamping requires uncompromising precision and industry certifications. Argo Spring Manufacturing is AS 9100/ISO-certified and RoHS compliant, with robust quality practices that support the production of medical components across a wide range of applications.
Common uses for metal stampings for the medical industry include:
- Surgical devices and surgical equipment
- Probes, including temperature and thermistor probes
- Device pumps and motors
- Implantable devices and prosthetics
- Instrument connectors, couplings, and fittings
- Device and instrument housings, sleeves, and enclosures
Commonly Stamped Metal Materials Used
The choice of material is critical to the success of medical parts and devices. Different applications require metals with unique properties, from corrosion resistance to lightweight strength. At Argo, we frequently use the following materials in medical stamping projects:
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel offers exceptional strength and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for surgical instruments, implants, and housings. Its durability allows it to withstand frequent sterilization without degrading, ensuring long service life in demanding healthcare environments.
Titanium
Titanium is valued for its high strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to corrosion, including wet chlorine exposure. These qualities make titanium a preferred choice for implants and surgical tools, particularly where reducing weight is important to minimize stress or fatigue.
Aluminum
Aluminum is lightweight, strong, and resistant to corrosion. It is often used for housings and enclosures in medical devices, where durability and protection must be balanced with ease of handling.
Brass
Brass is antimicrobial, malleable, and ductile, which makes it suitable for complex parts used in medical equipment. Its natural antimicrobial properties add an extra layer of safety for healthcare applications. Brass also finds use in musical instruments employed in medical therapy.
