Description
Packaging for on-body injection devices is a convergence of several technologies packaged into a footprint small and light enough to be worn by the patient using pressure sensitive adhesive. Since existing infusibles are typically supplied in vials or IV containers, often as concentrates for dilution or as lyophilized powders, the transition from caregiver administration to self-administration requires device designers and drug developers to adapt as-supplied packaging to accommodate the om-body primary container. For powder drugs, formulators are often challenged to create a solution version of the drug. If this is not an attractive option, the device designer is called upon to simplify the reconstitution step and integrate it as seamlessly as possible into the overall device operational envelope.
