Using Polymeric PDC Technology To Improve Autoinjector Design

The limitations of using glass-based autoinjectors, such as contamination, and the need for delivering complex, viscous preparations, have led to a new approach that uses polymeric PDC technology instead. Jonathan Lawson, MSc, Senior Design Engineer, Jonathan Bradshaw, MSc, Device Development Engineer and Susie White, MEng, Mechanical Engineer, all of Oval Medical Technologies, look at what polymeric PDCs can offer in making autoinjectors truly patient-centric.
