        abstract = {Background: Medical device PVC-free gluing procedures depend on specific bonding methods and adhesives that guarantee sterilization resistance, biocompatibility, and ISO/MDR compliance. Solvent bonding, UV-curable adhesives, and automated dispensing systems are the most efficient ways to replace PVC with TPE copolymers, polyurethane, and silicone-based adhesives. This paper examines the development of PVC-free bonding, reviews recent research, describes adhesive evaluation methodology, and discusses comparative results
Method: Solvent bonding: Reliable for acrylic copolymers, offering clarity and sterilisation compatibility.
•
UV-curable adhesives: Cure in
•
Polyurethane/Epoxy adhesives: Strong mechanical bonding, suitable for polyolefins.
•
Silicone adhesives: Flexible and biocompatible, preferred for tubing.
•
Automated dispensing systems: Reduce variability, improve reproducibility, and align with GMP.},
