MATERIAL SELECTION & EFFICIENT DEVELOPMENT PROCESSES FOR WEARABLE INJECTOR DRIVE SYSTEMS

Dave Beckstoffer explains the importance of material selection in drive system development, the key attributes of materials towards a wearable and auto-delivery device, and discusses the need to achieve industrialisation based on material selection and relevant manufacturing processes.

KEY CONSIDERATIONS WHEN SPECIFYING A MOTION SYSTEM FOR WEARABLE INJECTORS

The reliable performance of a wearable drug delivery device is understandably paramount, so optimising the motion solution that drives it is crucial. Dave Beckstoffer discusses how best to achieve this and ensure the best match between the motion solution and the characteristics of the specified drug or drug range.
