Production
 
The Egalet^® technology is unique because it is based on standard plastic injection which entails a number of benefits. Among these benefits are:

• Accuracy
• Reproducibility
• Easily variable tablet size
• Fast drug development
• Low production costs

A schematic view of the Egalet^® production flow is illustrated as follows:

1. Cavity is empty
2. Piston moves forward, coat material is injected
3. Coat material hardens, piston recedes while matrix material (containing drug) is injected into the cavity
4. Matrix hardens, piston moves forward ejecting the finished Egalet^® tablet.
5. Finished Egalet^® tablet
