Title:
SOLVENTLESS PLASTIC BONDING OF MEDICAL DEVICES AND CONTAINER COMPONENTS THROUGH INFRARED HEATING
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005080067
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for preparing solventless bonds between plastic components. The method includes the step of using infrared exposure to create bonds, and more specifically, the step of exposing a first article and/or a second article to a specific portion of the infrared spectrum. The invention further provides medical devices fabricated using infrared exposure.
