The innovative medical devices that improve patients’ quality of life require robust materials that meet specific manufacturing and end-use demands. Many medical devices for use in or on the body are assembled from multiple components that need secure and reliable seals. That makes it critical for medical device manufacturers to make the right choice when selecting an adhesive.
From pacemakers to catheters, medical devices are made from a variety of materials such as rubber, plastic, silicone and metal. Silicone adhesives are often used to join and seal these devices.
