Polycarbonate brings durability and aesthetics to disposable wearable drug delivery devices

Biopharmaceuticals are one of the fastest growing segments of the pharmaceutical industry. Biologics are derived from microorganisms, plants or animal cells and are commonly used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, diabetes and many other diseases. Biologics need to be injected or intravenously entered into the human body, patients usually need to travel to and from professional medical institutions to receive infusions or painful self-injection at home .
to cope with these difficulties, Enable Injections has developed a wearable disposable drug delivery device that allows patients to comfortably self-use high-volume or high-viscosity therapeutic preparations. Enable Injections device components are molded using Cosmodro's medical grade polycarbonate material.
the light purple housing of the conveyor device is made ® clone and Rx1805 polycarbonate. Its transmission system, made from a white Baybenlan ®M850XFPC-ABS blend, helps patients easily transfer biological agents from their original containers to EnableInjections wearable infusion devices."From choosing the right polycarbonate material to supporting in-house testing and production, Cocostro supports every step of the way for Enable Injections," said Brian Faul, U.S. Midwest Business Development Manager,
Costrom's polycarbonate business unit. The
model clone®Rx1805 polycarbonate is a medical grade resin commonly used in the production of transparent components for medical devices, providing the following advantages for the equipment housing, including:
- resistance to high-energy radiation sterilization
Bio-compatible, meets many of the requirements of ISO10993-1 assessment
. High viscosity
. High resistance to lye chemicals
Baybenlan®M850XFPC The ABS blend offers the following benefits for transmission systems, including:
is biosynorbable and meets several requirements of ISO10993-1 assessment
. Good liquidity
. . heat resistance up to 131 degrees C (Vika B/120)
- High dimensional accuracy, high stability and toughness
Lauren Zetts, North American Marketing Manager, Medical and Consumer Business, Cocostro Polycarbonate Business, said: "Biologics are very sensitive. Choosing the right material for the transmission system is critical to patient safety. Cosco has always been committed to providing original equipment manufacturers in the medical industry with the materials they need to get their products to market. Therefore, we are naturally pleased that this application has chosen Cosco-Genesis materials to make a positive impact on the lives of patients. "
