Medical device assembly using fluids includes shroud bonding, cap bonding, lid sealing, encapsulation, gasketing, connecting parts and others. These techniques have different requirements such as jet/needle, dispensing angle, dispensing speed and unique camera angle, while having common requirements like consistency, accuracy, linearity, adjustability, volume production capability and minimizing contamination.
Various medical devices are produced using Nordson ASYMTEK dispensing equipment including:
-
Glucose measuring devices (diabetes)
-
Catheters (coils)
-
Drug vaporizers (Inhaler)
-
Endoscopy
-
Implantable hearing aids
-
Implantable ophthalmology lens
-
Implantable tools for angioplasty
-
Pacemakers
-
Suture needles
One example includes the production of catheters (coils) for neurovascular catheters where Nordson ASYMTEK’s DispenseJet DJ-9000 with the Axiom X-1020 were used successfully.
