Perforation
Perforations are strategically placed holes in materials used in the medical and pharmaceutical industry for various purposes, including Transdermal Drug Delivery, Wound Care, and medical device manufacturing. They play a critical role in improving product performance and patient outcomes, and enhancing sterilization.
Medical and pharmaceutical applications require high precision in perforation size, pattern, and placement to ensure functionality and safety.
The choice of material and the perforation method such as mechanical perforation or perforation using Ultrasonic is crucial, considering factors like biocompatibility, durability, and the specific application.
Micro-Perforation of the backing material of Topical Patches can improve the controlled release of the active ingredient, micro-perforation of the backing of classic Band Aids for example enables the breathability of the plaster.
Perforated silicone gel dressings enhance breathability, manage exudate, and promote healing by allowing oxygen and moisture vapor to pass through, while also minimizing maceration and promoting atraumatic removal.
RCA Bignami offer various inline perforation processes with the appropriate perforation technology and cylinder needed.
