Whether your medical device assembly requires an adhesive that is biocompatible and sterilizable - or one that meets a host of other performance characteristics - Henkel has the right adhesive for your application.

Introducing our Loctite® AssureCure™ System, a revolutionary new system that quantifiably confirms when your light cure adhesive is fully cured and ready to move on to the next step in your manufacturing process. The small footprint of the Loctite® AssureCure™ system allows for easy integration into existing production lines and is designed to quantitatively and cost-effectively assess the degree of cure by combining adhesive, a detection system, and software. Our experience, products, and engineering services are second to none, with the world’s most diversified and comprehensive line of adhesives, dispensing equipment, and curing systems available anywhere.

Adhesives can provide design advantages, improve overall product performance, speed assembly time, and increase production efficiency and quality. Loctite® adhesives combine all of these advantages, and more. When the total cost of a finished medical device is considered, adhesives are the most economical assembly choice. Loctite® adhesives offer many benefits, including:

• Comprehensive Biocompatibility Testing
• Ability to Bond Dissimilar and Difficult Substrates 
• Even Stress Distribution
• Excellent Gap Filling Capability
• Rapid Fixture and Overall Cure Times
• Structural Bonds
• Increased Throughput

Our medical device adhesives cover almost every adhesive chemistry conceivable, providing you with a wide range of choices and assembly solutions. We know one product won't fit every design, and that's why we continue to create and add new products, new chemistries, and even new technologies. No matter what the application, chances are we have the right adhesive for the job. All of our products are available in viscosities ranging from water-thin liquids to thixotropic gels and are compatible with common sterilization methods such as ethylene oxide, gamma radiation, electron beam, liquid sterilization, autoclave, and peroxide plasma.
