    [1] The purpose of a drain is to prevent fluid (blood or other) build-up in a closed ("dead") space, [ 2 ] which may cause either disruption of the wound and the healing process or become an infected abscess, with either scenario possibly requiring a formal drainage/repair procedure (and possibly another trip to the operating room).

  3. Squeeze casting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squeeze_casting

    Squeeze casting is a casting method that combines die casting and forging. It starts with low-pressure casting, followed by the application of very high pressure as the material cools, producing a high-quality casting. [1] [2] This is often carried out using a hydraulic press as part of the casting apparatus. [3]

  7. Squeeze bottle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squeeze_bottle

    A squeeze bottle is a type of container such as a plastic bottle for dispensing a fluid, that is powered by squeezing the container by exerting pressure with the user's hand. Its fundamental characteristic is that manual pressure applied to a resilient hollow body is harnessed to compress fluid within it and thereby expel the fluid through some ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sand_casting

    The pattern is specially vented so that a vacuum can be pulled through it. A heat-softened thin sheet (0.003 to 0.008 in (0.076 to 0.203 mm)) of plastic film is draped over the pattern and a vacuum is drawn (200 to 400 mmHg (27 to 53 kPa)). A special vacuum forming flask is placed over the plastic pattern and is filled with a free-flowing sand.

  9. Injection molding machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Injection_molding_machine

    The person designing the mold chooses whether the mold uses a cold runner system or a hot runner system to carry the plastic and fillers from the injection unit to the cavities. A cold runner is a simple channel carved into the mold. The plastic that fills the cold runner cools as the part cools and is then ejected with the part as a sprue.
