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.
