ISO 13485 Certified Retaining Rings & Wave Springs for Medical
You’re working to a healthier future. You can count on our partnership.
Precision Rings & Springs Built for Medical Devices and systems
From the smallest wave spring to the largest retaining ring, every part in a medical device must perform exactly as designed. Using the wrong part can compromise patient safety, device reliability, or system performance. Rotor Clip can deliver the parts your application depends on. For over 65 years, we have supplied ISO 13485-certified retaining rings (circlips, snap rings, spiral rings), wave springs, and hose clamps to medical device manufacturers, earning a reputation for precision and reliability in critical applications such as surgical tools, diagnostic equipment, implantable devices, and pharmaceutical systems.
Medical Applications for Rotor Clip Retaining Rings & Wave Springs
From injector pens to hip replacements, oxygen concentrators, and more, Rotor Clip retaining rings, spiral rings, wave springs, and hose clamps provide precise alignment and secure component retention under demanding conditions. Though often hidden within the device, they play a critical role in maintaining assembly integrity and reliability. These parts give medical device manufacturers confidence that their applications function safely and consistently.

Rigorous Quality Control & Traceability for Every Part
Rotor Clip is ISO 13485 certified for medical manufacturing and also holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, IATF 16949, and AS9100 certifications. Parts are processed in dedicated cleanroom facilities, with ultrasonic wash systems removing microscopic contaminants to maintain surface quality. Every part is verified by our metallurgical experts using state-of-the-art instruments and in-house labs, ensuring it meets exact specifications. Full product traceability allows each retaining ring, wave spring, and hose clamp to be tracked back to its production lot, materials, and manufacturing process, giving complete accountability and confidence in every part.
Custom Parts Engineered for Medical Devices
Is your application unique and require a solution that a standard part cannot provide? Rotor Clip engineers specialize in designing and producing retaining rings and small diameter wave springs to meet exact specifications.
We manufacture:
