Several new coating technologies are being developed for application to these devices, to reduce the friction between the device and the tissue, and provide good surface coverage, wetting, uniform adhesion, wear-resis...
Adhesives used for medical applications is one of the exciting segments in the specialty chemicals industry. Adhesives are critical components in the design and manufacture of the majority of medical devices. As medical devices become smaller and more complex, greater demands are being made on the materials and components used in them. As the adhesives industry used responds to the challenges of this market, new advances are widening the performance envelope for medical adhesives. Variations in polymer compositions, coupled with compounding differences, are allowing properties to be tailored to meet specific application requirements, including biostability, sterilization effects, and mechanical properties. Perhaps even more exiting are estimates that only about one-half of the applications that could be served by adhesives are actually using adhesives in assembly, leaving significant growth opportunity. By all measures, growth potential is very attractive and this market segment gene...
