Evaluate Adhesive Options for Medical Devices with New Whitepaper

A new whitepaper has been released to assist medical device manufacturers in selecting the most suitable adhesive options for their products. This resource focuses on critical factors such as biocompatibility, sterilization resistance, and manufacturability, empowering designers to make informed material choices during the early stages of development.

Key Learning Outcomes for Attendees

The whitepaper provides an in-depth analysis of various adhesive types, including epoxy, silicone, cyanoacrylate, and UV/LED curable adhesives. It guides professionals in choosing the right system based on specific device requirements. Attendees will gain insights into which adhesive systems comply with USP Class VI and ISO 10993-5 biocompatibility standards, ensuring safety and efficacy in medical applications.

Understanding how different sterilization methods—such as autoclaving, ethylene oxide (EtO), gamma sterilization, and chemical immersion—affect adhesive performance is critical. The whitepaper highlights the impact of repeated sterilization cycles on adhesive integrity, offering valuable information for maintaining device reliability.

Importance of Early Adhesive Integration

Integrating adhesive selection into the design process at an early stage can significantly reduce the trade-offs between performance and manufacturability. By considering adhesive properties upfront, manufacturers can avoid costly modifications later in the production cycle.

Medical device manufacturers are encouraged to download this free whitepaper to enhance their understanding of adhesive options. With insights that can influence both the functionality and safety of their products, this resource serves as a vital tool in the competitive landscape of medical technology development.

The whitepaper is available now for those looking to streamline their design processes and improve their product offerings.
