Megatrends

Megatrends driving change in drug delivery devices

Connectivity and IoT

Connected devices will gather data through intelligent devices and communicate important information to remotely monitor or regulate a device. Integrated electronics may be customisable to allow for different types of user.

Home-based care

Care is trending to move away from hospital-based treatments. Devices now needs to incorporate more human-centred design factors to promote user adherence and reduce user-related risks.

Large molecule biologics

Next generation biologics with larger molecules bring new challenges in their delivery, such as larger dosage volumes of 2.25ml and high viscosity formulations via infusion pumps, syringes or on-body auto injectors.

Applications

PEEK APPLICATIONS

Wearable health technologies

Watch this animation of a concept for a lightweight, innovative & semi-reusable on-body patch pump to see how PEEK can be used to improve the performance of components for subcutaneous delivery such as pistons and plungers, gear drive systems, and integrated structural electronics.

Drug delivery to the lungs

Watch this animation of a concept for a next generation vaporizing inhaler, made with PEEK components, including thermally resistant thin walled structures, components that are in direct contact with drug concentrates, and a biocompatible mouthpiece that retains good dimensional stability under repeated use and heat to create a secure airflow channel.
