Solutions that Touch Lives


Nordson EFD works with organizations like yours to develop innovative medical technologies. We put our decades of experience to work serving the medical assembly industry to make your projects successful.?

 

Leading medical device manufacturers are developing more compact, lightweight, and advanced solutions. We assist you in fulfilling these needs by:

 
  • Concentrating on delivering solutions for deposits at the micron scale, as tiny as 0.5nL.
  • Offering expertise in overseeing assembly procedures from the initial idea to the finished medical device, ensuring that your fluid dispensing solution is refined from research and development to mass production.
  • Focusing on lab-driven decisions: Nordson EFD process engineers examine key stages throughout the development process to identify and resolve fluid assembly challenges, ensuring you can consistently and accurately apply tiny quantities of fluids onto materials or substrates that are difficult to reach.
  • Facilitating the Industrial Internet of Things, empowering manufacturers to gather real-time data, and beyond. The acclaimed PICO Nexμs jetting system links high-precision fluid dispensing with Industry 4.0 efficiencies. Users are now able to oversee, regulate, and track jetting operations at each dispensing point through standard Industrial Ethernet protocols using programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and human-machine interfaces (HMIs).
  • Providing expertise working with machine builders to develop manufacturing systems that make smaller, lighter, and more advanced medical device products than ever before.
 

This is due to Nordson EFD leveraging its engineering expertise as a leading producer of precision dispensing systems. Our fluid dispensing solutions deliver precise and consistent quantities of adhesives, sealants, lubricants, and various fluids utilized in nearly all assembly processes within medical device manufacturing.

 

Watch this video to see how our precision fluid dispensing products meet stringent FDA and other agency regulations for quality and product consistency.

   

 

Moreover, Nordson EFD offers the consistent precision fluid dispensing required to satisfy the demand for enhanced process control, encompassing process validation and traceability. We recognize that the medical device and life sciences sectors must adhere to strict regulations for product quality and uniformity, rendering process control a vital concern.

Dispensing Applications


Ablation Catheters


Ablation catheter manufacturing frequently requires microdots as small as 150 ?m (0.15 mm) (0.006") diameter. Nordson EFD has designed a line of valves that enable dispensing in tight spaces at more complex angles. In addition, manual applications are supported with sophisticated handheld fluid dispensers. Innovative medical assembly begins with a reliable, accurate fluid dispensing solution.

Catheter Bonding


Manufacturers worldwide rely on Nordson EFD for the reliable application of glues that bond catheter components together. From balloon to marker bonding and bonding guidewires to tips, repeatable dispensing provides better quality control. Consistent hub bonding, tube joining, sensor attachment, and coating starts here.
