Monolithic Industries (MI) can compound and mix active pharmaceutical additives and polymers using a melt extrusion process.  Specialized small batch equipment allow drugs and multi polymer systems to be combined and extruded into multiple medical device formats:

1. COMBINE MIX EXTRUDE FINAL PRODUCT…. in one processing step:

MI uses specialized mixing technology that allows sequential, ONE STEP compounding and extrusion processing of required forms for biomedical device creation.

PELLETS      MICRO PELLETS - [ 0.020 - 0.065 INCH ]   [0.50 mm -  1.65 mm ]      STANDARD PELLETS - [0.065 - 0.125  INCH ]   [1.65 mm -  3.18mm ]

TUBING      All sizes      Single and multi layer

FILM / SHEET      CAST FILM - [ 0.001 - 0.010 INCH ]   [ 0.0254 - 0.254 mm ]      SHEET FILM - [0.010 - 0.100 INCH ]   [ 0.254 -  2.54 mm ]

MONOFILAMENT      [ 0.005 to 0.100 INCH ] [ 0.127 to 2.54 mm ]  MULTIFILAMENT      Bio re-sorbables, nylons and other polymers  [ 0.5 dpf - 30 dpf ]  [ 0.75 dtex - 40 dtex ]. 5 to 300 filament capability        Sutures, threads, resorbable wound dressing material

2. Trials /Development / Production performed with as little as 50 grams of polymer.

MI specializes in micro-scale extruders, compounders and reagent mixing methods. Pharmaceutical actives and polymers are often very expensive and degrade in large scale extrusion machinery used by other processors. We specialize in rapid, small batch feasibility trials.

MI can facilitate several trials and extruded articles with a minimum of valuable raw materials.

3. All Bioresorbable / Implant, Pharma, engineering and experimental Polymers possible with and without additives.
