Extrusion is frequently used to produce rod-shaped ophthalmic or subcutaneous implants. Some key capabilities include:
- Microextruded implants <100 microns in diameter utilizing small quantities of API (100 mg) for feasibility work
- Twin screw compounding of API and polymers including highly potent compounds
- Coextrusion of implants for near zero-order drug release
- Extrusion and welding of vaginal rings
- Batch sizes from <1g to 10 kg
