Medical adhesive

Adhesives are widely used in the medical field. Basically, every kind of medical device needs to use adhesives, and some special treatments and operations also need to use adhesives, such as dentistry. When it comes to medical adhesives, many people will think of non-toxic and healthy. What requirements should medical adhesive meet?
Five basic requirements for medical adhesives
① Safe and non-toxic
No matter which kind of medical adhesive, the most basic requirement is that it is safe, non-toxic, and has no possibility of carcinogenesis, teratogenicity, and mutagenesis. Such adhesive still meets the basic requirements of medical adhesive.
② Good adhesion strength
Medical adhesives must have good bonding strength, because medical devices are different from other machines and have high requirements on the sensitivity and quality of the devices, so as to better treat patients. The adhesive used for bonding teeth and skin needs high bonding strength, so as to effectively bond and avoid other conditions for patients.
③ Good biocompatibility
Medical adhesives are used in the medical field, and medical treatment is the closest to human beings. Therefore, good biocompatibility of adhesives is required to avoid rejection.
④ It can inhibit bacteria
Medical adhesive is sterile, but it is inevitable to breed some bacteria when exposed to the air. Therefore, medical adhesive must have antibacterial function. It can inhibit the growth of bacteria, which is beneficial to the wound healing of patients.
⑤ Low heat value during curing
General adhesives are easy to generate heat when they are heated. However, the calorific value of medical adhesive should be low when curing. If the calorific value is high, muscle tissue will be injured.
Now there are many brands and manufacturers of medical adhesives on the market. In fact, many of them are produced in workshops. The quality of products is difficult to meet the standard, which will affect the medical effect. Therefore, medical adhesive brands must be selected with guaranteed quality.
With the continuous improvement of social medical treatment, medical devices and equipment are also making continuous progress, and the application of medical adhesives is becoming more and more extensive. In the future, the performance of medical adhesives will continue to be optimized and upgraded, and their categories will become more and more diversified. The production of products will develop towards large-scale and intensive development. Such changes will certainly contribute to the development of social medicine!
