Schott developed the Injentle syringe system for the special needs of highly sensitive drugs.
Its design offers improved drug stability and a gentle application.
'The drug is not in contact with the needle or the adhesive during storage.
'This prevents sensitive drugs from interacting with the adhesive or the metal of the needle,' said Carmen Heiter, product manager of syringes at Schott.
The seal design allows the drug to flow into the needle at the moment the syringe is opened, that is to say when the needle shield is pulled off.
The tamper-evident closure enables physicians or patients to determine if the syringe is still unused.
Schott Injentle features many additional advantages.
For example, the special geometry of the glass barrel does not require the use of any tungsten during the glass-forming process.
As a result, the syringe is completely tungsten-free.
As Schott Injentle is simple to handle, no special training is required for healthcare personnel.
'On the one hand, it enables even very sensitive drugs to be stored safely, on the other hand it offers easy handling and the ability to use particularly thin needles for a gentle application,' Heiter added.
