The substrates utilized in today’s catheter designs, such as PEBA and Nylon 12, are often difficult to bond to. If components are not adhered properly, failure of the finished device can occur. To avoid this from happening, medical device engineers are vested in finding adhesives that meet stringent testing criteria including excellent performance in pull strength, peel strength, burst pressure, and accelerated aging.

Typical Catheter Types: Angioplasty, Butterfly VI, Ablation, Urinary.

Detail Applications

  • Bonding latex balloons onto (also multi-lumen) tubes for angioplasty
  • Manifold/ Lumen Bonding
  • Hypotube/ Hub Bonding
  • Balloon/ Lumen Bonding (especially bonding latex balloons onto (also multi-lumen) tubes for angioplasty)
  • Catheter Assembly.

 

Some main medical devices requirement and standards for adhesive

ISO 10993 biocompatibility standards (ISO 10993-5,-10,-11,-4,-6)

Depending on the application requiring an adhesive solution, many of our products also have passed ISO 10993 testing for skin sensitization and irritation as well.

ISO 13485 Medical Devices Quality Management

Ensuring that our products are made consistently and that they will conform to Medical Device Quality Management Standards.

USP Class VI Bio-compatibility of Materials

set by the US Pharma Convention (USP) with a focus on medications, healthcare technologies, food ingredients, and materials used in medical devices.

FDA Approval for Medical Devices

Since the user must submit his part for final testing and FDA certification, an adhesive’s qualification to ISO 10993 or USP Class VI is viewed as sufficient to allow a user to determine “probable” device acceptance.

OUR SOLUTIONS

To solve this problem, we are confident to introduce our assembly solution and the one-stop guideline as follows:

Adhesive

The three most commonly used medical grade adhesive chemistries for needle manufacturing are:

  • Light Cure Acrylics (both UV cure and LED cure)
  • Light Cure Cyanoacrylates
  • One-Part Heat Cure Epoxies
Desktop Dispensing Robot

Automated Dispensing System for Single Part Adhesive

Though the benefits of fast-setting adhesives, these moisture-cure adhesives can be a challenge, especially when your assembly process requires precise, repeatable dispensing. See details of the Different Dispensing Systems

UV or Heat Curing System

Because UV light of varied spectral output penetrates glass, polypropylene, and many other plastics, both flat and complex 3D-shaped parts are easily bonded instantaneously. By ensuring superior bonding at higher speeds, UV curing produces quality assemblies faster and less expensively. UV Curing System Details here

 

Inspecting System

Built-in quality and inspection systems assure each part meets the high quality required for medical products.
