While autoinjectors are sometimes designed to work with a
particular injectable product as a form of pharmaceutical
branding, the typical autoinjector is designed to fit one or
more standard sizes of prefilled disposable syringes. Until
recently, autoinjectors were designed to be reused. The
reason was that the injectors were too expensive to be
successfully marketed as a throw-away device. Recent
improvements in materials technology and device design have
led to the creation of a class of autoinjectors that can be
made economically in high production quantities, opening the
door for the disposable autoinjector, and providing expanded
opportunities for both patient and drug marketer.
