Hands-On Solutions for Medical Device Design and Assembly

Henkel Corporation has announced a date for the next 2010 Loctite® Medical Device Adhesive Seminar.  These comprehensive programs address topics specifically related to the design and assembly of medical devices, including proper joint design for adhesive assembly, selecting the appropriate adhesive technology, and processing-equipment requirements.

The next Loctite® Medical Device Adhesive seminar will take place on Thursday, October 7, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Henkel’s North American headquarters, One Henkel Way in Rocky Hill, Connecticut.  The event will feature information on new Loctite® ISO 10993 biocompatible light cure silicone and cyanoacrylate adhesives, and the latest in LED curing.  As part of the seminar, participants will receive a tour of the Henkel facility and hands-on time in the Henkel labs.  Lunch will also be served.

Design, product and manufacturing engineers who attend Loctite® Medical Device Adhesive Seminars benefit from intensive educational information and hands-on demonstrations of adhesives and equipment.  Engineers walk out with a solid knowledge of adhesives and understand how to automate manual processes, improve profitability/process efficiency, decrease costs, improve product quality/reliability, and reduce process cycle times and work-in-progress.
