Elastomer Component Technology Trends for Prefilled Cartridge and Syringe Based Drug Delivery
Injectable drug manufacturers are challenged to minimize risk, accelerate product development, ensure patient safety and improve ease of administration. At the same time, companies must differentiate their new products within therapeutic categories that are very competitive.
Prefillable syringes and cartridges offer many benefits as compared to vial formats including precise dose accuracy, less drug overfill for lower unit cost, and drug product differentiation.
Proper selection of primary elastomer components, used to package and deliver drugs in syringe or cartridge formats, is critical for patient safety and must be considered during development.
This workshop presentation is designed to educate participants, provide case study examples and includes content for:
• Market trends driven by regulatory expectations
• Matching component designs to meet user requirements
• Component material selection and criteria
• Considerations for functionality and container closure integrity
• Ready-to-sterilize and ready-to-use components to meet fill-finish technology
