We provide cost-effective solutions that work for you. 

Why take a chance on anyone else?

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. 

Our adhesives have been specified by medical device 

manufacturers all over the world for over two decades. 

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. We offer over forty products for medical 

device assemblies requiring biocompatibility testing and 

hundreds of other products for applications not requiring 

such evaluation. 

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: 

▲ Structural Bonds 

▲ Ability to Bond Dissimilar and Difficult Substrates 

▲ Increased Throughput 

▲ Rapid Fixture and Overall Cure Times 

▲ Excellent Gap Filling Capability 

▲ Even Stress Distribution 

▲ Comprehensive Biocompatibility Testing

Our medical device adhesives cover a variety of chemistries, 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. 

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. 

LIGHT CURING ADHESIVES 

Upon exposure to the appropriate light source, these onepart 

adhesives cure completely in seconds to form 

thermoset or thermoplastic polymers (depending on the 

chemistry) with excellent adhesion to a wide variety of 

substrates. Cure times from two to thirty seconds are typical. 

Light Curing Acrylics – These products offer the most 

extensive variety of properties of all light cure chemistries. 

Upon exposure to suitable light, acrylics produce tough, 

durable thermoset polymers. Cured properties range from 

hard and rigid to soft and flexible. Newer products cure 

under either UV or visible light sources and respond to low, medium, or high intensity light. 

Easily automated, fluorescent versions allow in-line detection of the adhesive. 

Light curing acrylics are used to assemble syringes, injectors, infusion sets, pressure 

transducers, drug delivery devices, IV sets, oxygenators, cardiotomy reservoirs, blood heat 

exchangers, hearing aids, anesthesia masks, and blood filters. 

Light Curing Cyanoacrylates – Loctite ® FlashCure ® light curing cyanoacrylates are well 

suited for applications where a secondary moisture cure is required, allowing the adhesive 

to cure completely in shadowed areas where light cannot reach. Exposure to low intensity 

UV or visible light provides tack-free surfaces in less than five 

seconds. These adhesives eliminate the need for solvent-borne 

accelerators and minimize stress cracking and blooming 

(a whiteness around the bondline), due to their “instant” fixturing. 

Light curing cyanoacrylates are ideal for the assembly of 

catheters, syringes, pressure transducers, orthopedic devices, 

infusion pumps, oxygen concentrators, blood gas analyzers, 

filters, as well as a number of other devices. 

Light Curing Silicones – When exposed to high intensity UV 

light, Loctite ® Nuva-Sil ® silicones cure into soft, flexible thermoset 

elastomers. Light curing silicones are excellent for sealing, gasketing and leakproofing, and 

are well suited for bonding silicone rubber. 

Light curing silicone applications include tracheal and endotracheal tubes, foley catheters, 

colostomy devices, and chest drainage tubes.

CYANOACRYLATE ADHESIVES 

These one-part adhesives cure in seconds at room temperature, forming slightly flexible to 

rigid thermoplastics. They are particularly suited for joining dissimilar substrates in almost any 

combination including polyolefins, thermoplastics, rubber, and metals. Loctite ® Prism ® 

cyanoacrylates are high performance instant adhesives designed for the most challenging 

applications. The Prism ® family includes flexible, toughened, low odor/low bloom, surface 

insensitive, and thermally resistant formulations. 

Cyanoacrylates are widely used to bond components in the assembly of blood pressure 

transducers, endoscopes, IV sets, infusion pumps, catheters, orthopedic devices, hearing 

aids, cast boots, and diagnostic imaging equipment. 

CYANOACRYLATE ACCELERATORS AND PRIMERS 

Accelerators speed the cure of cyanoacrylates and are used to reduce fixture and cure times, 

or to cure fillets on bondlines and/or exposed adhesive. They can be applied to a substrate 

prior to the application of cyanoacrylate adhesive or they can be sprayed over a drop or 

fillet to initiate a rapid cure. Primers enable the cyanoacrylate to form strong bonds with 

polyolefins and other difficult plastics such as acetal resins. Depending on the plastic, bond 

strengths up to 20 times the unprimed bond strength may be achieved. 

EPOXY ADHESIVES 

Loctite ® Hysol ® epoxies provide high peel and shear strength on a wide variety of plastics 

and metals. When cured, these crosslinking thermoset plastics offer superior thermal and 

chemical resistance, as well as high cohesive strength and minimal shrinkage. Hysol ® 

two-part systems are packaged in side-by-side cartridges, allowing them to be dispensed 

as easily as any one part system. 

Our new single component, heat cure formulas are excellent for bonding metals to a wide 

variety of plastics, providing superior pull strength when joining cannulae to hubs or syringes. 

Epoxies are commonly used on endoscopes, catheters, artherectomy devices, blood heat 

exchangers, syringes, and dental, surgical and orthopedic instruments. 

POLYURETHANE ADHESIVES 

Loctite ® Hysol ® urethanes are ideal for bonding metals, plastics, glass, and other 

substrates. Designed for potting and encapsulating applications, these two-part, room 

temperature curing products provide excellent peel and shear strength. They are ideal for 

opaque substrates that require high flexibility. 

Urethanes are commonly used in potting applications on filters, kidney dialyzers, 

blood heat exchangers, and catheters.

CATHETER SAFETY INCREASED 

A thermal dilution catheter manufacturer 

requested assistance for bonding a latex 

balloon to a rigid, multi-lumen PVC tube. The 

catheter is inserted into a major vein near the 

heart to take blood samples, administer fluids, 

and monitor blood pressure and body 

temperature. The transducer must endure 

temperatures ranging from freezing to 110°F, 

while the balloon must withstand pressures up 

to 110 lbs. After bonding, the balloon is inflated 

fifty times to check bond durability. 

TOXIC SOLVENTS 

ELIMINATED 

Loctite ® 4014 cyanoacrylate 

secures a latex balloon to 

rigid PVC tubing. 

Loctite ® 4014 cyanoacrylate was selected on the balloon 

bond, for its low viscosity, thermal resistance and controlled 

setting time. This allowed time to assemble and place the 

balloon precisely. The customer reports that the adhesive 

works so well that “the balloon ruptures before the adhesive 

fails.” 

Loctite ® 4011 replaced solvent 

bonding in this PVC tube to 

copolymer fistula assembly. 

VETERINARY DEVICE SECURED 

Animal drugs for livestock management 

and the introduction of new vaccines and 

drug treatments have led to new delivery 

techniques in veterinary device technology. 

Since the FDA does not require the same 

standards for animal devices as those 

required for medical devices intended for 

humans, manufacturers may use nonmedical 

products. Their responsibility is to 

assure that the animal medical device is 

Loctite ® 406, an industrial cyanoacrylate, joins 

safe, effective, and properly labeled. 

polypropylene to polypropylene, on this veterinary 

syringe, increasing product quality and safety. 

Most syringes used for animal injections 

are made of solvent resistant polypropylene (PP). Because of the difficulty in joining PP, snap 

fittings are frequently used to connect tubes and barrels. However, the soft and pliable nature 

of PP often results in poor performance or joint failures. Because livestock is very expensive, 

if a syringe breaks during an injection it could mean the loss of an expensive drug, as well as 

internal injury to the animal, should the broken section be swallowed by a valuable 

racehorse, for example. 

To permanently connect the components, Loctite ® 406, a low viscosity adhesive, was 

selected for its ability to bond difficult substrates. Loctite ® 770 polyolefin primer was applied 

to the PP, prior to applying the cyanoacrylate, to obtain maximum bond strength. The bonded 

parts met every drug resistance and strength test required by the manufacturer. 

Note: For medical devices intended for humans, Loctite ® 4061 adhesive and 7701 primer 

are recommended, as they comply with extensive biocompatibility testing. 

A manufacturer of a device used in dialysis 

machines to withdraw and return blood had 

a production line shut down. The problem: 

one vendor had supplied out-of-tolerance 

parts, and the solvent used for bonding 

could not fill the excessive gap. Their PVC 

tubing supplier also made a substitution, 

creating additional assembly problems. 

The assembly process used solvent welding, 

a mixture of 90% methylene chloride and 

10% cyclohexanone, to join a flexible PVC 

tube to a copolymer elastomer (TPE). The 

parts were joined by slip fit, with a gap of 

.002", using a dip and assemble technique. 

The assembled product had to meet a 20-25 

psi burst test and a 15 lb. pull test. 

Loctite ® 4011, a surface insensitive 

cyanoacrylate, was specified. It filled the 

gap and had enough strength to pass the 

burst and pull tests with ease. Since the 

manufacturer already used Loctite ® 4011 

in another area of the plant, making the 

switch was easy. Production goals were 

met, inventory was used, product quality 

was assured, and a potentially troublesome 

toxic solvent was eliminated.

SOLVENTS AND STRESS 

CRACKING ELIMINATED 

This soft, flexible catheter uses a “peel 

away,” splitable needle introducer, a unique 

catheter insertion system for fragile veins. 

After insertion, the needle’s wing assembly 

is split apart and discarded, eliminating the 

need to repeatedly restick the patient. 

BOND STRENGTH INCREASES 

5X ON SAFETY SYRINGES 

Loctite ® 3211 improves product 

quality, reduces rejects and 

eliminates toxic solvent fumes during 

assembly of this micro-catheter. 

STRONG, FLEXIBLE 

BONDS ACHIEVED 

Loctite ® Prism ® 410 is used to 

lock the stainless steel threaded 

fastener into position during 

the customized fitting of this 

prosthesis. 

FOUR-SECOND CURE 

DOUBLES PRODUCTION 

The manufacturer was dissatisfied with the 

process used to bond the stainless steel 

needle halves to lightly-tinted polycarbonate 

wings. A “solvent cocktail,” made by 

combining a plastic, such as PVC pellets, 

and adding solvent, to make a “glue,” was 

being used. Formulation inconsistency, stress cracking, and 

toxic solvent fumes were growing concerns. 

The solution, Loctite ® 3211 was specified along with a 

Loctite ® light cure chamber. The combination proved superior 

in every way – eliminating stress cracking while reducing 

rejects due to the solvent cocktail’s inconsistencies. 

This lower limb prosthetic device manufacturer builds 

prostheses made of carbon fiber, a material known for its 

superior strength, flexibility, and imperviousness to the 

elements as well as corrosion and stress. They wanted to 

provide amputees with proportional response, an active heel 

with natural ankle motion and a 95% energy return that 

actually powers the wearer through each step. 

Loctite ® 410 Prism ® , a black, rubber toughened industrial 

cyanoacrylate, provides the flexibility required to maintain 

appropriate fastener torque on the stainless steel fastener 

used in customizing the fit of these prostheses. The product is 

easily visible and removable, and is applied without activators 

or primers. Loctite ® 277 industrial threadlocker is used for the 

larger 1" pre-assembled fasteners to prevent loosening while in 

use. This customer uses Loctite ® products throughout their 

manufacturing facility, to provide strong, flexible bonds on their 

line of products. 

Loctite ® 3051 bonds K-Resin ® to stainless 

steel cannulae in dental syringes, 

increasing product quality. Ready for 

injection (left), and K-Resin guard covering 

needle after injection (right). 

This syringe, with pre-attached needles, is designed to 

prevent accidental needlesticks in the dental industry. 

An anesthesia cartridge is loaded into the K-Resin ® 

body assembly, which penetrates the back of the 

needle, allowing the anesthesia to flow into the 

syringe. After the injection is made, a second guard 

slides down over the needle, fully enclosing it. 

Traditional dental syringes involve multiple chances to 

get stuck with “screw-on” needles. 

Henkel was called upon in the design stage to analyze 

the application, which involved bonding a stainless 

steel cannula to a K-Resin ® syringe body. Heat cure 

epoxies were evaluated, but the heat caused the 

viscosity of the epoxy to decrease, resulting in 

occluded needles and misaligned parts. The customer 

required consistency, automation, and a minimum pull 

strength of 4.4 lbs. 

Loctite ® 3051 was evaluated and proved superior on 

the substrates. It was easily automated and eliminated 

heat cures and migrating epoxy issues. Cure time was 

4-5 seconds under a Loctite ® high intensity light cure 

conveyor. Production and product quality increased 

significantly, allowing the customer to achieve 4-5 

times greater pull strength, delivering 20 lbs. versus 

the 4.4 lbs. required. 

A manufacturer wanted a better way to assemble anesthesia masks in order to double production. The 

substrates they were bonding were rigid cones to flexible, highly plasticized PVC face cushions. The masks 

were assembled with a cyanoacrylate that required 9 seconds to fixture and several hours to fully cure. 

Some brittleness and blooming during and after cure was experienced, with rework and rejections running 

high. A peel test demonstrating substrate failure was required, and no oxygen leakage could be exhibited 

from the mask after bonding. 

Rigid to highly plasticized PVC is 

bonded easily with Loctite ® 3341 

on anesthesia masks. 

Loctite ® 3341 proved to be the superior alternative, passing all tests and requiring only 4 seconds for 

complete cure under a Loctite ® medium-intensity light cure conveyor. This enabled the customer to not only 

double production by adding another shift, it also presented a significant cost savings over their prior 

cyanoacrylate usage.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS 

ELIMINATED FOR 

COLLECTION RESERVOIR 

LIGHT CURE TECHNOLOGY 

IMPROVES APPEARANCE AND 

SPEEDS PRODUCTION 

Hearing aid manufacturers have long relied on adhesives for the assembly 

of various hearing aid components including face plates and receiver 

components. Recent advances in light curing technology have allowed for 

increased throughput and reliability. 

Loctite ® Flashcure ® cyanoacrylates are single component light curing 

adhesives. With exposure to low intensity light, the Flashcure ® products 

cure in seconds offering strong faceplate and componentry bonds. The 

need for solvent-based cyanoacrylate accelerators is eliminated and the 

potential for blooming (a whiteness around the bond line) is reduced. 

Loctite ® 3211 eliminates solvents and 

provides structural strength for 

collection reservoir. 

A leading manufacturer of blood collection and 

processing systems used solvents such as 

methylene chloride for bonding various device 

components and subassemblies. OSHA and the 

EPA were encouraging industries to move away 

from using solvents, and this device manufacturer 

particularly wanted to eliminate their use of 

methylene chloride. Since the devices were made 

of glass-like plastics, their engineers required 

clear bonds with no stress cracking or crazing. 

The collection reservoir, a disposable device 

used to clean and return blood to patients during 

various surgical procedures, consists of a clear, 

polycarbonate lid assembly joined to a 

polycarbonate bucket. Environmental concerns 

and issues associated with solvent bonding were 

eliminated with a new tongue and groove design 

and with Loctite ® 3211 – a safer, faster and 

more consistent bonding choice. Loctite ® 3211 

light curing adhesive provided the aesthetic 

bondline the manufacturer wanted. It also 

provided the structural strength that the 

collection reservoir manufacturer needed to 

maintain a competitive edge in the marketplace. 

Loctite ® Nuva-Sil ® silicones are single component, light/moisture curing 

adhesives/sealants. The rapid cure with exposure to high intensity light 

makes the dual curing silicones the products of choice for the bonding of 

the receiver tube to the receiver, and the bonding of the receiver tube to 

the shell for hearing aid shell fabrication. 

Loctite ® customdesigned 

needle 

specimens are used 

to verify adhesive 

application and 

performance. 

ON-PART DETECTION ENSURES 

QUALITY AND RELIABILITY 

Loctite ® light cure products 

allow for the rapid and reliable 

assembly of hearing aids. 

Adhesives are universally used for bonding cannulae to hubs in needle assemblies. It is 

critical that this joint is well bonded and sealed to prevent fluids such as blood or medicine 

from leaking. It is also essential that the position of the cannula remains fixed. 

All Loctite ® needle bonding adhesives are fluorescent to facilitate final inspection of the 

adhesive joint, ensuring that the adhesive is not only present but also that the adhesive 

has flowed into the bond joint correctly. The Loctite ® Fluorescent Detector is used to 

perform a present or not present inspection. If more precision is desired, the 

fluorescence can be monitored using a vision system, albeit at much higher expense. 

Henkel offers the most extensive line of needle bonding adhesives. These 

UV/visible acrylic and/or one-part epoxy products are specifically designed for 

the assembly of stainless steel cannulae to a variety of hub materials including 

polycarbonate, acrylic, ABS, and polypropylene. The wide range of adhesives 

includes viscosity, environmental, substrate and performance variations to ensure 

that there is a product to meet any needle bonding application requirement. 

INNOVATIVE DEVICE PACKAGING SOLVES SAFETY HAZARD 

For years, a swab device in combination with a reagent filled glass ampule has been used for various diagnostic 

tests. Following sample collection, the glass ampule was broken releasing the test reagent for use in the analysis. 

Problems with the procedure included the possibility that glass shards could cut the technician, clog the dropper 

tube or get into the reagent. The development of an innovative package allowed for increased safety and a 

patented product offering the manufacturer a competitive advantage in a very large market. 

The new product was designated the SnapSwab and consisted of a Dacron ® swab tip on a polystyrene shaft 

encased in a polyethylene tube. In use, a quick snap of the swab shaft releases the reagent and the swab is ready 

for use. It was necessary to reliably attach the swab to the inside of the tube and ensure the entire assembly be 

leak proof. 

Loctite ® 3311 offers adhesion to 

various swab substrates, resulting 

in a safer and more reliable device. 

Loctite ® 3311, a single component light cure acrylic adhesive, was the material of choice for the new swab 

device. Rapid, semi-automated processing, and high adhesion to the various swab substrates resulted in a device 

that was safe, convenient, dependable, and inexpensive.
