■ Miniature Gas Valves
Emerson, St. Louis, MO,
has expanded its line of
miniature solenoid valves,
adding a new three-way Series
090 valve confi guration
to
enable
lighter,
more
space-effi cient solutions for
gas control in oxygen therapy,
compression therapy,
and gas analyzer devices.
Originally developed as a
two-way valve for air and
inert gases in portable medical
devices, the valve features a compact architecture,
small
10.8-mm
footprint
and
50-million-cycle
life for maximum reliability.
The three-way confi guration can perform the
same mixing and diverting functions as a pair
of two-way valves, making it suitable for small,
high-precision gas delivery systems for oxygen
and other home-care devices. The valve body
is molded from polybutylene terephthalate
(PBT) plastic, with seals made of durable fl uorocarbon
(FKM) elastomer.

UV & HEAT
CURABLE,
MEDICAL GRADE
EPOXY
Master Bond UV15DC80Med
is a special dual cure epoxy
based system that offers a primary cure using UV light
along with a secondary heat curing mechanism. This
adhesive allows for curing areas on parts that do not allow
UV light curing because of " shadowing " issues.

■ Coating Capabilities
Surface Solutions Group, LLC (SSG), Chicago, IL, has
expanded its medical coating operations to six distinct
production lines. The additional lines allow the company
to segregate production by different PTFE colors,
such as green, blue, and gray, as well as separating waterborne
coatings from solvent-based PTFE coatings. The
expanded capacity enables the company to coat guidewires, hypotubes, and mandrels
up to 300 cm in length. Each production area has its own HVAC with HEPA
fi ltering, signifi cantly reducing foreign contamination and coating defects.

■ Miniature Load Button
A miniature load button is available from FUTEK, Irvine, CA.
The LLB250 can measure compression forces up to 250 lbs with
a footprint of just 0.5 in. (12.7 mm) diameter and 0.15 in. (3.9
mm) in height. It features a custom single-gauge design for robust
integration with the sensor case and very high accuracy and
reliability. The single-gauge design eliminates inter-gauge wiring. A customized strain element
allows increased strain measurement around the active sensor element that reduces reproducibility
errors and installation mishaps. The sensor is designed for press or in-line compression
