Medical Device Coatings & Adhesives

In medical device manufacturing, materials must meet the highest safety, compliance, and performance standards. GracoRoberts supplies ISO 10993-compliant medical device coatings and medical device adhesives, including adhesives, coatings, and sealants used in surgical instruments, diagnostic equipment, and other critical assemblies. Our products offer biocompatibility, sterilization resistance, and dependable bonding across metals, plastics, and composites to support durable performance in demanding manufacturing environments.

We help medical device manufacturers select materials that can withstand repeated autoclave cycles, resist degradation from cleaning agents, and meet stringent regulatory documentation requirements. Whether you’re bonding catheters, assembling handheld diagnostic tools, or coating surgical instruments with medical device coatings, our solutions support safe, durable performance. Partner with us to streamline compliance while accelerating production timelines. Explore our medical device coatings and medical-grade adhesives, plus compliance resources, to strengthen your next device design.

Types of Medical Device Adhesives and Coatings

Selecting the right medical device adhesives and medical device coatings depends on your substrates, sterilization method, and performance requirements. Common options include:

  • Light-cure (UV/LED) adhesives for fast assembly, precise placement, and inspection-friendly bonds
  • Epoxies for high-strength bonding and chemical resistance in demanding environments
  • Cyanoacrylates for rapid bonding on small components and tight-tolerance assemblies
  • Anaerobic adhesives for threadlocking and retaining applications where vibration resistance is required

 If you’re evaluating materials for bonding, sealing, or surface protection, we can help you narrow options that align with your device design and manufacturing workflow.

Material Selection Support for Medical Device Manufacturing

Choosing medical device coatings and medical device adhesives involves balancing performance, process constraints, and documentation requirements. We help medical device teams shortlist materials based on substrate compatibility, sterilization exposure, and production workflow, so you can move from evaluation to implementation with confidence and keep timelines on track. Contact our team to discuss your application and identify the right options.

Key Applications for Medical Device Coatings:

  • Bonding plastics and metals in medical devices
  • Sterilization-resistant adhesives for surgical tools
  • Coatings for biocompatibility and protection
  • Assembly of diagnostic and imaging equipment
  • Adhesives for wearable medical devices

Frequently Asked Questions About Medical Device Coatings and Adhesives

What types of medical device adhesives are commonly used, and when should each be used?

Common medical device adhesives include UV/LED light-cure adhesives for fast assembly, epoxies for high-strength bonding, cyanoacrylates for rapid bonding of small parts, and anaerobic adhesives for threadlocking and retaining. The best choice depends on substrates, process requirements, and sterilization exposure.

What medical device assembly applications can medical device adhesives help with?

Medical device adhesives are often used for bonding tubing to connectors, assembling catheter and fluid-path components, securing parts in handheld diagnostic tools, and threadlocking fasteners for vibration resistance. Application fit depends on device design, materials, and sterilization method.

Do medical device coatings and medical device adhesives meet standards beyond ISO 10993?

Requirements can vary by device and use case. Some medical device coatings and medical device adhesives may have supporting documentation for additional testing or evaluation standards. Always review technical data and request the documentation needed for your application.

Can GracoRoberts help me choose medical device coatings or medical device adhesives for my application?

Yes. We can help you identify medical device coatings and medical device adhesives that align with substrate compatibility, sterilization exposure, and performance requirements. We can also point you to available technical documentation to support your selection process.
