UV spot curing is used extensively in the manufacturing of cardiovascular catheters since there are a number of bonding applications, such as balloon bonding, hub bonding and marker bonding; each requiring a strong and repeatable bond of different materials. The market for cardiovascular catheters is significant and continues to grow because of the extent of heart and cardiovascular disease, which is the number one cause of death globally.
