Collin delivers first micro-extrusion line for medical yarn to Thailand

In what is said to be a technology milestone, German machine maker Dr. Collin has delivered the first medical line for suture material to a university in Thailand. The line has been developed in close collaboration with the University of Chiang Mai and under the direction of Prof. Dr. Winita Punyodomc as well as Dr. Robert Molloy.

With this, the university is in a position to produce medical sutures for different applications for the first time in this country, according to Corné Verstraten, CSO of Collin.

The micro-extrusion line for the production of mono and multi-filaments was started up in September 2018. “The filament line is used for the production of medical products, allowing our partner to produce the newly developed suture filaments according to ISO 13485 on an international level,” said Verstraten.

Collin is represented by business partner LMS that has its headquarters in Thailand.

With headquarters in the Bavarian city of Ebersberg, Collin develops pilot and laboratory lines in modular system for plastic processing companies as well as for research institutes. The owner-managed company has been in business for more than 40 years. Collin’s solutions are used for the development and the production of plastic products, material analysis, test series up to pilot tests which allow a scale up to production scale.
