Collaborating to Simplify Device Development and Optimize Glass Solutions for Auto-Injectors

Tremendous growth opportunities exist for auto-injectors as their value is increasingly being recognised across several therapy areas, experts have told a recent CPHI webinar, sponsored by Stevanato Group.

Stevanato Group has launched SG Nexa 3x Cartridges, a full range of products that offer up to 3 times the mechanical resistance when compared to a standard glass container.
Thanks to an external anti-friction and anti-scratches silicone coating, SG Nexa 3x better withstands the stresses of fill/finish processes too.

SG Alina is a variable-dose and fixed-dose and pen injector offered by Stevanato Group in collaboration with Cambridge Design Partnership.
It is based on Axis-D intellectual property and technology exclusively licensed from pen injector device expert Haselmeier, for the treatment of diabetes.

The increasing number of complex and sensitive biologics and the administration shift from hospitals to patients' homes are two of today’s main biopharmaceutical industry challenges. Complex drugs and self-administration require an appropriate primary packaging selection from the beginning of the bio drug development process. In this article, you will learn how Stevanato Group can support biopharma companies in the container closure system choice leveraging its 70-year expertise in glass primary packaging, up to the integration into drug delivery systems, backed up by solid characterization analysis.

This recent webinar sponsored by Stevanato Group focuses on early considerations for emergency use auto-injector development and manufacturing.

Presenting a case study on Stevanato’s Maverick, Adam Stops, Drug Delivery Systems Product Manager at Stevanato Group explained that the emergency use auto-injector is the result of a successful partnership with Duoject Medical Systems.

“We have partnered with Duoject to provide a market-leading device for our customers in the emergency use space. Along with Novocol, Duoject’s parent company, if requested, we can provide end-to-end services: the device, device manufacturing, fill/finish, and final device assembly. This is truly an end-to-end solution,” he said.

The COVID-19 pandemic has placed a spotlight on the readiness and requirements of pharma packaging companies to support the distribution and delivery of a potential vaccine and selecting the most suitable primary packaging options for drug products is one of the most crucial considerations in the drug development process, according to industry experts speaking in this CPHI China Virtual Expo Connect Webinar, sponsored by Stevanato Group. Daniel Martinez, Product Manager, Stevanato Group pointed out that speed to market is a primary consideration for vaccine developers, particularly in the current pandemic environment, and keeping the same type of container is essential to reaching this target. “The advantage of using a vial is that it is a pretty versatile container – it’s good for liquids, it’s good for lyophilized products, powders and cryogenic,” he told the audience, noting that some of the COVID-19 vaccines being developed need to be stored at -70 degrees.
