RD Troche Strip Mold

Introducing R.D. Troche Strip Molds by TICKERWORKS

Traditional troches are known for being bulky, slow to dissolve, and uncomfortable for patients. Sharp corners and rigid forms can make administration difficult, and removal from disposable molds is often a hassle. RD Troche Strip Molds feature thin troche strip cavities to formulate rapid-dissolve troches/gummies for faster onset and to improve patient adherence.

Ultra-Thin Comfort

Troche strips measure a thickness of just 1.2mm, offering a smooth, comfortable mouthfeel and faster absorption—perfect for patients with oral sensitivities or difficulty swallowing.

Recognizing the need for improvement, Dr. Moses Perez, Pharm.D., and president of TICKERWORKS, developed innovative technology for compounding pharmacies like yours. This technology allows for the hassle-free compounding of thinner and smaller troches, ensuring ease and efficiency in producing compounding troches or rapid dissolve tablets.

Crafted from high-density food-grade silicone, the TICKERWORKS Troche Strip Mold sets a new benchmark for compounding molds, outperforming common silicone alternatives with its superior properties:

• Chemical Resistant: The mold withstands exposure to a wide range of compounding ingredients, including active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) like progesterone, testosterone, and sildenafil, ensuring safety and consistency without degradation.
• Resistant to Deformation: Unlike standard silicone molds that may warp over time, the high-density silicone retains its shape even after repeated use, reducing replacement costs and ensuring long-term reliability.
• Heat Resistant: Withstanding temperatures up to 250°F, the mold is ideal for compounding with molten bases such as PEG, fatty acids, or gummy formulations, maintaining its integrity during high-temperature processes.
• Dishwasher Safe: Fully dishwasher safe and autoclavable, the mold’s non-stick surface and resistance to chlorine, sanitizers, and pharmacy-grade cleaners make cleaning effortless, eliminating cross-contamination risks.
• Longer Lasting: Built for durability, the Troche Strip Mold’s robust construction and high-impact resistance ensure it outlasts typical silicone molds, offering pharmacies a cost-effective, long-term solution.

Designed for Efficiency and Patient Compliance

The TICKERWORKS Troche Strip Mold reflects decades of technological expertise, delivering features that optimize compounding and enhance patient outcomes:

• Pour & Disperse Technology: Forget filling individual cavities one by one. The mold’s 90 cavities, each with a 0.5mL volume, allow pharmacists to pour and disperse molten mixtures in a single step, producing hundreds of troches or gummies in minutes. This efficiency is perfect for high-volume compounding.
• Optimized for Buccal Absorption: The mold creates thin, film-like troches that dissolve quickly, maximizing buccal absorption for faster-acting compounds. With a maximum API capacity of approximately 150mg for most APIs, it supports a wide range of formulations. Recommended for PEG, Fatty Acid, and Gummy bases, the mold ensures compatibility with standard compounding materials.
• Double-Scored for Dose Flexibility: The mold’s cavities are double scored, allowing patients to easily cut troches into halves or fourths. This feature is ideal for patients who need to titrate their dose slowly, offering the convenience of precise dosing at home without additional tools.
• Patient-Friendly Design: The mold produces smooth, comfortable troches without sharp edges, improving patient comfort and compliance. The ability to cut troches into smaller doses enhances adherence, especially for sensitive or pediatric patients.
• Streamlined Production: The 90-cavity mold is designed for scalability, enabling pharmacies to handle both custom prescriptions and large batches with ease. Its compatibility with bases from PCCA, SpecializedRx, Medisca, Fagron, and others ensures versatility.
