Medical

The use of UV and visible light curing adhesives is an important assembly technique for medical device manufacturers due to their rapid processing, cure on demand nature, ease of automation, lower energy requirements and solvent free bonding.

EXFO UV spot curing products can be used when bonding a variety of medical plastics, stainless steel, glass, rubber & similar or dissimilar substrates, for medical devices applications such as:

Katheterverklebungen

Bonding of a catheter requires 360° illumination to properly irradiate the assembly. Custom designed light delivery accessories like the EXFO Cure Ring, can be coupled to standard light guides to achieve this result. Alternatively a catheter can be cured using a multi-legged High Power Fiber Light Guide consisting of 3-4 legs.

Features & Benefits:

Omnicure Series 2000 contains Closed-Loop Feedback	Ensuring a repeatable manufacturing process
Specific irradiance levels can be set	Minimizes heating and allows precise control
R2000 Radiometer used to calibrate the Omnicure Series 2000	Set output level on multiple systems wirelessly
Cure Ring	Provides 360° illumination
Multi-legged High Power Fiber Light Guide	More efficient transmission can lower the cost of operation

Nadelverklebungen

A wide variety of devices incorporate a needle or cannula including syringes, hypodermic and angiographic needles, IV sets and lancets. The joint is very small and cylindrical, typically joining a stainless steel cannula to a plastic hub. The joints must be well sealed to prevent fluids such as blood or medicine from leaking, while the position of the cannula must remain fixed. These applications are performed in semi or fully automated assembly environments where the parts are delivered to the bonding process or indexed in a fixture. The cannula is inserted into the hub, fixed in place, and presented in an array for curing.

Specific irradiance levels can be set	Minimizes heating and allows precise control
R2000 Radiometer used to calibrate the Omnicure Series 2000	Set output level on multiple systems wirelessly
Cure Ring	Provides 360° illumination
Multi-legged High Power Fiber Light Guide	More efficient transmission can lower the cost of operation
Automation	The curing system can be easily integrated into an automated system minimizing development time

Schlauch- und Anschlussverklebungen

Bonding of tubing and connectors requires precision and repeatability to ensure that there is no leakage when transferring fluid in or out of the body.

Endoscope

UV curing is used in both the manufacturing and repair of endoscopes. UV Adhesives are used to bond optics and sometimes prisms in the distal end of endoscopes. Repairing endoscopes can include the optics along with endoscope covers which use special medical grade flexible coatings.

Features & Benefits:

100W lamp technology with up to 18W/cm2 of output and 2000 hour lamp life	Delivers the intensity required for endoscopic repair
Intelli-Lamp Technology to cool lamp and monitor lamp hours	Maintain optimum operating condition, stable lamp output, longer lamp life, and accumulates lamp hours
Automatic Lamp Striking with hot strike prevention	Protects Lamp Life
Adjustable light output in 1% increments	Allowing very precise control of output
Finger touch controls with LED display	Easy to use
R2000 Radiometer allows measuring of irradiance output	Ensures a repeatable process
