UV curing adhesives for medical device assembly

UV cured medical-grade aerobic adhesives yield the same structural bond strength as thermal, sonic, or solvent welding. Solvents are recognized as having a potential for negative health and environmental effects. Substrate limitations have historically restricted medical device design when using sonic or thermal welding techniques. UV curing aerobic adhesives clearly represent a significant advance for an industry in which product reliability and user safety are a requisite.
