Medical Devices: Formulating for their Specific Requirements

Adhesives formulations for medical devices need to meet specific set of requirements unique to this industry (high production speed, biocompatibility, sterilization resistance…). And now with the introduction of new substrates, miniaturization trend, new technologies (snap cure epoxy, biopolymer hybrids, light curing cyanoacrylate and acrylics…) and added regulations, you need to be better equipped to meet your customer’s needs. Join this live course to:

• Develop formulations more in-tune with your customers’ needs by understanding the medical device requirements & general adhesive requirements


• Get better understanding of the special required tests, by understanding the standards and regulations


• Benchmark your adhesives formulation practices against current state-of-the art and latest innovations (bonding without primer, biopolymers, hybrids…)


• Understand the developing & key markets (structural adhesive assembly, PSAs, patents): Hydrogels, pharmaceuticals, biocompatible implants


• Be better equipped to make decision on developments & strategies - taking into account latest trends, opportunities for new applications

• Formulators and end-users of adhesives for medical device assembly
• Marketing professionals willing to seize new opportunities
