Trelleborg Healthcare & Medical has deep expertise in formulation and development of drug-eluting products. Whether developing an implantable system for long-acting drug delivery, or enhancing the performance of a medical device through the addition of active pharmaceuticals, our team of experts can help. Over the past 15+ years, we’ve worked with hormonal, steroidal, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and many more drug compounds to create these systems. Our knowledge of manufacturing polymers enables our team to accelerate the development of these life-changing products with our customers.

A Full-Service Partner

Our team of engineers work hand-in-hand to develop and manufacture the optimum product to meet application needs. We reliably manufacture complex components to tight tolerances, improve design for manufacturability, automate manufacturing processes and develop novel concepts to solve customer challenges. As a full-solution contract manufacturer, Trelleborg can then take these products through to serialization, packaging, and shipping.

Drug-Elution Expertise from Trelleborg

Therapy developers are being asked to consider ways to deliver drugs for a longer time period with a single dose, and medical device companies are constantly looking for ways to enhance the performance of their products. Drug elution technology has been used to advance both these areas, producing products that address patient compliance risks, minimize side effects, extend drug delivery windows, and enable the development of more targeted therapies.

We partner with our customers to understand design needs and how to achieve the ideal patient outcome. With the ability to work in both biodurable and bioresorbable polymers, we can provide input on how to achieve a difference-making product. We then identify the ideal formulation method from the myriad of industry-accepted processes and work to recommend the ideal manufacturing processes to achieve performance while achieving cost targets.
