Vertical cutting | VERTICUT

Vertical cutting | VERTICUT

New drug delivery systems, such as ocular or subcutaneous implants, require precise production with strict tolerances for the diameter and length of polymer filaments.

In certain production configurations, extrusion is performed vertically, particularly in the case of piston-based extrusion systems.

The VERTICUT, a post-extrusion system developed by CILYX enable precise and calibrated cutting of implants and micro-implants. This new generation of instruments ensures precise calibration of polymer filaments and accurate cutting. Suitable for a variety of polymer formulations and application fields, these modular and configurable instruments can be adjusted to meet a wide range of product specifications.
