A medical device normally has multiple goals: performance, compliance, cost, and timelines. All are important, and all are dependent on the adhesive you use. Strouse adhesive engineers treat each medical device as its own unique product, creating converting solutions with a focus on how that device will perform in the long-term.
Choosing an adhesive for a medical application usually is determined by its use. What needs to be done?
- Hold device components together
- Cover a device
- Move fluid
- Stick a device to skin
- Deliver an active ingredient through skin
