Medical devices require careful consideration when choosing adhesives; many factors can affect an adhesive joint’s success.

Medical devices are frequently made from engineering resins such as Polyolefins, PPS, ULTEM, PEEK, and RADEL as well as metals, particularly titanium, nickel, aluminum, and stainless steel.
This wide range of materials means that medical adhesives can include silicones, epoxies, polysulfides, polyurethanes, and more, and the choice of adhesives will depend on the medical device’s uses as well as the materials from which it is made. Apart from offering greater efficiency in the assembly of medical devices, adhesives often outperform traditional fasteners in their resistance to sterilization processes.
