Medical Development Of Acrylates

Acrylic resins have a rich history in the development and application of medical adhesives. Back in 1936, Kulzerr company in Germany was already selling dental adhesives based on methyl methacrylate (MMA). The emergence of Fastman910a-methyl cyanoacrylate in the American market in 1959 marked a milestone in surgical operations, where adhesives could be used as alternatives to suturing, tying, and bonding. Later in 1960, acrylic bone cement, a type of acrylic resin, was successfully applied by Charnly in the operation of artificial hip joints. This achievement further highlighted the potential of acrylic resins as a revolutionary tool in the medical field.

The expansion of the medical polymer material discipline since the 1970s has led to rapid progress in the research, development, and application of medical acrylic resin adhesives. With a-cyanoacrylate as the main component, these medical adhesives have found clinical use in over a million cases. This remarkable growth has been made possible by the continuous efforts of scientists and researchers in the field. The advancements in medical adhesive technology have greatly contributed to improving healthcare outcomes and enhancing medical treatments.

Medical acrylic resin adhesives have seen a phenomenal growth in development in recent times. With increasing demand, there are several product series and varieties that are now available to cater to different needs. These adhesives are suitable for various purposes, including tissue adhesives, dental adhesives and bone cements, among others. As a result, there is an expanding demand for these adhesives, and their usage is gradually increasing across several fields.
