Panacol has developed a broad portfolio of specialty adhesives for wearable patient monitoring devices that meet the stringent demands imposed by medical device manufacturers and are reliable, durable, while also safe for direct skin contact.
Panacol teamed with metering equipment manufacturer Scheugenpflug and UV equipment manufacturer Dr. Hönle. A system concept was identified and successfully tested that enables precise metering for the dispensing of low volumes of UV adhesives with integrated LED UV curing.
Adhesion to Commonly Used Medical-grade Substrates
Panacol’s medical device adhesives exhibit excellent adhesion to commonly used medical-grade substrates, including polycarbonate, polyimides, polyamides, stainless steel and ceramic. These adhesives are tested for biocompatibility in accordance with ISO 10993-4/-5/-10/-23 and/or USP Class VI protocols.
This group of adhesives includes LED curable UV acrylates and UV epoxies which provide the shortest curing cycle times for high-volume production. They are ideal for needle/hub assembly, component attachment, and for sealing enclosures. Multiple viscosity ranges are available to provide the best match to component configuration and assembly process. Fluorescing versions are available to enhance quality control relying on in-line vision systems.
Also included in this group are
electrically conductive adhesives and conventional thermosetting epoxies. They offer connectivity and attachment solutions for PCB and electrical component assembly. Several epoxy selections are available with high ionic purity which is essential to minimize the risk of corrosion on the PCB. Panacol’s silver-filled electrically conductive adhesives can often replace solder joints or be applied on bendable or flexible wearables.
