Apparatus for the production of drug-containing implants in the form of strings of beads

摘要

An apparatus for the production of drug-containing implants in the form of strings of beads, comprising chains of small drug-containing plastic bodies respectively arranged in series on a surgical wire or thread, has two elongate mold halves (1), which are accommodated in a mold housing (2). In the mutually facing mold parting surfaces (3) of the two mold halves (1) there are made two rows of mold cavities (4) for receiving in each case a small plastic body and a surgical wire or thread (6) joining the said bodies. The mold cavities (4) are respectively connected to a gate (14) opening out at, a mold outer surface (12 or 13). In each case, a plurality of mold cavities (4) of a row are connected to a common runner (15) which is made in an inner wan of the mold housing and into which there respectively opens out an injection opening (16) adapted such that it can be connected in a sealed manner to an injection device (1).
