Blades for eye surgery

There were several applications the company wanted to cover using one adhesive. Due to the delicate and small nature of some of the parts being bonded, the company wanted a UV adhesive for a controlled and rapid cure that could easily be automated into a syringe-based dispensing system.

Additional requirements were a shore hardness of >70D, with biocompatibility not essential but good to have.

Permabond recommended its 130UV adhesive for this application for several reasons. It matched the customer's shore hardness requirements perfectly, offers biocompatibility and cures in shadow areas that may not be reached by the customer's UV-curing system.

Not only that, Permabond 130UV cures very quickly, is easily automated into a dispensing system and bonds well to a wide variety of substrates.

Overall, 130UV proved to be the right adhesive for the job and the customer was very happy with this choice.
