Adhesives and Epoxies Q&A
-
Is there a UV-curable adhesive that, when cured, conforms to USP Class VI standards and passes ISO 10993 requirements for permanent implantation?Answered June 15th, 2010 by Expert:Unfortunately, not that I am aware of. Technically, most light-curable adhesives are acrylated urethanes or epoxy-based systems that would not survive permanent implantation. There are other hybrid light-curable technologies, but as far as I know, none have been released technically for long-term implantation. In addition, the legal liability is too high for most applications. Perhaps something from the dental-cement industry might be a suitable option.
