Master Bond products that are used in the construction of medical lighting equipment possess excellent mechanical, electrical, thermal, chemical, optical properties. Application specific grades are intended for lighting, controls, lamps, sensors, dimmers, power supplies, uninterruptible power supplies, transformers, switches, generators, circuits, connectors, rechargeable batteries. These components, parts, subsystems, systems are employed for medical lighting equipment for minimally invasive and major surgical procedures. This extends from spine, cardiac, pediatric, oncology to oral, colon, gynecologic, orthopedic, sports medicine operations. Minimally invasive surgery ranges from urological conditions, lung tumors, gastroesophageal reflux disease, atrial septal defects to varicose veins, kidney stones, ovarian cysts, gallbladder cancer, hernias, obesity. These endoscopic procedures have a low risk of infection, faster recovery times, small incisions, reduced loss of blood and less pain. Master Bond adhesives can be formulated to resist abrasion, provide excellent optical properties, while meeting USP Class VI requirements for biocompatibility and ISO10993-5 requirements for non-cytotoxicity.
