Request Information
Multipurpose medical device adhesives are designed to rapidly bond medical-grade plastics upon exposure to UV/Visible light. The products meet ISO approvals and bond well to many different substrates including tinted and UV-inhibited plastics. Some formulations feature patented Encompass® technology which enables easy visual confirmation of adhesive placement and cure and fluorescence for post-cure quality inspection.

  • UV/Visible/LED light cure
  • ISO 10993 compliant
  • Compatible with E-Beam, gamma, and EtO sterilization
  • Single-component materials require no mixing
  • Secondary heat-cure capability for shadow areas (some products)
  • See-Cure technology for cure confirmation (some products)
  • Blue or Ultra-Red® fluorescing for quality inspection (some products)

Additional Information

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.
