TAH Industries Introduces New u-TAH® NanoTM Applicator System to Simplify Handling and Dispensing of Two-component Dental and Medical Materials

TAH Industries, a subsidiary of Nordson Corporation (Nasdaq: NDSN), has

announced the u-TAH® NanoTM system, the world´s first single-use packaging

and applicator system to utilize the mechanical, ergonomic, and economic

benefits of standard single-component dispensers for mixing and applying

two-component adhesives, pastes and other dental and medical materials

in clinical applications.
According to the Freedonia Group, "US demand

for medical and dental adhesives and sealants will rise 7.6 percent

annually through 2011 driven by continuing new product development and

increasing acceptance in surgical and consumer settings."
Potential applications for the new u-TAH® NanoTM system include packaging, mixing

and applying a wide range of two-component materials, including:

Self-cure and dual-cure dental materials

Surgical sealants and adhesives

Audiology impression materials

Orthopedic cements

The new u-TAH® NanoTM system offers dental and medical practitioners the following benefits

over other two-component packaging/applicator systems:

Superior ergonomic and mechanical advantages over conventional

dual-barrel syringes and cartridges

Single-use for added convenience and minimal risk of

patient-to-patient cross-contamination

Accurate 1:1 dispense ratio and consistent mixing of the two-component

materials with included static mixer

Compatible with industry standard dispensers

Currently available in 1 ml size; additional sizes will be released

soon.
