UV CURING FOR
THE HEALTH SCIENCES
|
| |
|
Efficient light penetration
that doesn’t cause heat-induced substrate damage are benefits
that manufacturers of medical products applaud in Xenon
Corporation's UV curing technology. Since more than half
of all medical devices are made from plastic—the majority
of these from heat-sensitive polymers—excessive heat can
put these materials at high risk of melting and cracking.
Such devices as catheters, syringes, hydrogels, lubricious
coatings and surgical sealants are all excellent candidates
for pulsed UV curing.
The pulsed UV technology works in five ways to eliminate
these issues: 1) the UV lamps operate at lower temperatures
than mercury lamps 2) the short duration pulses operate
too fast for heat build up 3) cooling occurs between pulses
4) high peak power eliminates the need for high average
power and 5) the lamps can turn on and off in microseconds.
Of course Xenon’s pulsed UV technology has other advantages.
Special configuration is one example. Example—the circular
lamps that provide 360 degree illumination.
But you’ll want to learn more, of course. That’s why we’ve
included the library below..

Lamps for pulsed UV light systems can be configured
for specific applications. This circular lamp provides
360° illumination for curing balloon catheters.

SANITIZATION
FOR THE HEALTH SCIENCES
|
| |
|
Surface contamination is
an issue that plagues a number of fields from food manufacturing
and packaging to medical products to clean rooms. The
sanitization powers of Xenon Corporation’s UV technologies
are being welcomed enthusiastically in these venues.
Pulsed light is particularly useful in applications where
continuous mercury UV fails to meet the requirements for
complete DNA destruction, process speed, penetration,
low product temperatures, personnel safety and process
flexibility.
Xenon Corporation’s pulsed UV technology offers faster
processing, little or no product temperature buildup,
process flexibility, freedom from toxic lamp materials,
penetration of plastic packages, and ease of meeting special
lamp configurations.

Pulsed UV lamps can be custom manufactured
to most virtually any design requirements for the
purpose of focusing high energy pulsed UV light onto
a specific target or optical footprint.
