MD® catheter adhesives cure with UV/Visible or LED light in seconds to quickly bond common substrates such as ABS, PA, glass, PC, stainless steel, nitinol, aluminum, polyurethane used in catheter assembly. These adhesive meet or exceed ISO 10993 standards and are compatible with EtO, E-Beam, and gamma sterilization. Applications include balloon bonding, marker bands, and Y-connectors. Formulations are available with See-Cure, Ultra-Red®, or Encompass® technology for easy verification of adhesive placement, cure, and inspection.

  • Cure in seconds with UV/Visible/LED light
  • One-part formulations and no mixing
  • ISO 10993 and other biocompatible approvals
  • Formulations with See-Cure, Ultra-Red®, or Encompass® technologies
  • Secondary heat-cure capability for shadow areas
  • Bond a broad range of substrates including Nylon 12 and PEBA

Additional Information

N/A Dymax® MD® Adhesives, specially formulated for disposable medical device assembly, are used in a wide range of applications including catheter, syringe, anesthesia mask, reservoir, tube set, and medical electronics assembly. They help optimize assembly speeds to enable faster processing, greater output, and lower processing costs while allowing for 100% in-line inspection of bond lines. All of our adhesives are no solvents added and meet both USP Class VI and ISO 10993 biocompatibility standards.

MD® adhesives are intended for use in short-term (<29 days) or single-use disposable-device applications only. Dymax® does not authorize their use in long-term implant applications. In all cases, it's the user's responsibility to determine and validate the suitability of these adhesives in the intended medical device.

Compatible sterilization methods include gamma irradiation and ethylene oxide. Sterilization by autoclaving may be limited to certain applications. It remains the user's obligation to ascertain the effect of sterilization on the cured adhesive.
