Dr Christopher Rindlisbacher, Sales and Marketing Manager for Ypsomed AG, spoke about Products for Self-Injection. Auto-Injectors and Pen Systems are increasingly being used for a range of mainly biotech drugs, where ease and obviousness of use are key elements of the drug's abd of the therapy's sucess. For these products, having the right drug delivery system is critical to gaining an advantage in the market. The choice of self-injectionsystems starts with the appropriate choice of primary packaging, typically a prefilled syringe or cartridge. In many markets there is a clear trend towards disposable devices for many therapies, although reusable devices continue to be an attractive alternative as they typically can offer more advanced features suach as electronic displays.
