Advanced Adhesive Solutions for Med. Diagnostic Equipment

Fabrico, a leader in industrial materials and adhesives, works with medical diagnostic equipment manufacturers to replace mechanical fasteners with the latest in adhesives.

Adhesives deliver:

• High strength, durable bonds to meet requirements for repetitive use
• Invisible joints, which are more aesthetic, reduce product weight, and are easier to clean
• Stress and fatigue relief, eliminating stress fractures due to shock and vibration
• More material options for design engineers, since adhesives are better at bonding dissimilar materials
• Air- and water-tight seals for cleaning and sterilization 

Fabrico experience in materials and adhesives covers a variety of diagnostic equipment:

• Ultrasound and mammography equipment
• PET/CT and MRI scanners
• Bone densitometers
• X-ray equipment
• Nuclear medicine scanners
• Handheld blood monitoring equipment

Fabrico helps design engineers select from a range of adhesive alternatives including epoxies, acrylics, cyanoacrylates, urethanes, acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) tapes, and adhesive transfer tapes. Applications include: 

• Electrical insulation and EMI/RFI shielding 
• Bonding and sealing of equipment panels, monitors, and LCDs
• Attaching components for membrane switches, control consoles, and remote controls
• Bonding sub-assemblies for blood transducers, endoscopes, surgical and orthopedic tools
• Gasketing and sealing
