Drug Delivery and Biotech:

Introduction to the market

Device manufacturing for drug delivery and biotech systems encompasses creating highly accurate, scalable devices and components that enable controlled, targeted delivery of therapies and facilitate advanced biotechnological processes.

A drug delivery system (DDS) is a formulation or a device that enables the introduction of a therapeutic substance into the body at a controlled rate, time, and place, thereby improving the drug’s efficacy and safety. For example:

• Injection devices, such as syringes and needles, are used for delivering medications intramuscularly, intravenously, or subcutaneously. 
• Inhalers deliver medications directly to the lungs, allowing for rapid absorption and localized action, and are used to treat respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
• Autoinjectors allow patients to self-administer life-saving medications like epinephrine as well as medicines that treat conditions like rheumatoid arthritis subcutaneously or intramuscularly. 
• Insulin pens offer a convenient and discreet way for diabetic patients to administer their insulin doses, with options for different insulin types, dosages, and pen needle sizes.
