Description

This article discusses the evaluation of the hermeticity of polymeric/epoxy enclosures for long-term implantation. The aim was to determine the expected lifespan of biomedical devices inside the human body under accelerated conditions using two medical grade epoxies, Loctite Hysol M-31CL and Master Bond EP40 Med, to prevent moisture ingress. The results showed that the type of adhesive used to seal biomedical devices is a critical factor in determining their expected lifespan inside the human...
