The medical device business has undergone a revolution thanks to developments in adhesive. Prior to these developments, it was believed that it was impossible to glue medical devices, but their capacity to easily and consistently combine plastics, metals, and glass has led to a rise in their use in the manufacture of catheters made with particular formulas and disposable medical equipment.
It’s vital to remember that medical device adhesives are only meant to be used temporarily (for up to 29 days) and are a substrate. It’s crucial to emphasise that these adhesives are intended for single-use applications and that it is the sole duty of the user to make sure the medical device is disposed of after each usage.
The Global Medical Device Multipurpose Adhesive market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Dymax Introduced MD1045-M Multipurpose Adhesive for Prefilled Syringes and Injection Devices. The MD® 1045-M adhesive is formulated to address the issues with needle orientation, material overflow, and lengthy cure times of other technologies.
The product is designed to bond the glass, SS, ABS, and PC substrates used to assemble prefilled syringes, single-use devices, and auto, pen, and wearable injectors. The low extractable substance passes ISO 10993 cytotoxicity testing and complies with crucial biocompatibility requirements for medical device applications.
It is meant to assist producers in boosting output, cutting down on processing times, and exceeding important pull force and quality standards.
As a more environmentally friendly adhesive than solvent-based ones, Dymax MD® 1045-M is a one-part, solvent-free, and 100% solids product. The product’s low 475 centipoise viscosity also makes it easy to apply to components, and it does so in 10 seconds as opposed to the current standard’s 30+.
Additionally, the material may be LED-cured at 365 nm in 5 seconds for quicker processing that is also more environmentally friendly. It cures tack-free under UV/Broad Spectrum light. This low-shrinkage glue has a glass-like cure surface, doesn’t become yellow, and can tolerate sterilisation with Gamma and ETO radiation.
Ingenious UV/LED light-curing systems, dispense equipment, and quick and light-curable materials are all developed by Dymax. Design engineers have access to technologies that significantly increase manufacturing efficiencies thanks to the company’s adhesives, coatings, and equipment, which are precisely matched to collaborate effortlessly.
