The Game Changing Pico-System
Our leak-free, superior quality Pico-Cylinders, Pico-Pins, Actuators, and Drive Sub-Assemblies are designed from the ground up to deliver exacting performance and unsurpassed reliability.
Pico-Cylinder
Breakaway Septum
Our Breakaway Septum Pico-Cylinders have the lowest and most controlled opening forces on the planet. Our patented septum design combines this low opening force with high reliability burst integrity.
Pico-Cylinder
Valve-Release
Our Valve-Release Pico-Cylinders contain a spring-loaded valve that allows for partial gas release, resealing, and vacuum purging and filling to ensure the highest purity gas transfer.
Component
Pico-Pin
Our Pico-Pins have been intentionally designed, tested, and manufactured to reliably open the Breakaway Septum Pico-Cylinders, simplifying downstream manufacturing processes and quality checks.
Component
Actuator
Our custom Actuators puncture the Pico-Cylinder, seal off the gas, and integrate into your device to optimize design architecture, ergonomics, and human factors.
WHITEPAPER
Compressed Gas in Pico-Cylinders as a
Single Use Medical Device Energy Source
Compressed gas cylinders offer several advantages over batteries, motors, and springs. The energy density is higher than springs and the power density is higher than batteries. No additional devices are required to convert the energy into mechanical work, simplifying device designs.
Cleanroom Manufacturing
We are an ISO 13485 certified manufacturer with advanced automated gas filling and sealing, laser marking traceability, onsite gas blending, and multistage leak-free in-process verifications.
Rapid Development
Our engineering team transforms concepts into finished products using state-of-the-art design and analysis tools; in-house prototyping and model shop; quick-turn and production mold tooling; design for manufacturability; and decades of proven product development.
