Syringes
Prefillable pharmaceutical systems for drug delivery and long-term storage
Safe, simple, and reliable drug storage and injection
Whether made of glass or an advanced polymer, Pharma’s prefillable syringes (PFS) not only offer a highly stable, long-term storage solution for drugs, but also a safe and convenient delivery system for patients and clinicians. Since less manual steps are required when using a PFS compared to conventional packaging, the risk of medical errors and infections is considerably reduced. This plays a vital role in the safety of health care professionals and patients, with the use of a single injection system significantly reducing drug waste
Advanced materials for reliable performance
syringes are made of two different but equally reliable materials:
made of Type I Borosilicate Glass – the gold standard for PFS. This syringe offers strong barrier properties, reliable functionality, a known regulatory path, and a variety of options for multi-sourcing components and raw materials, as well as high compatibility with a range of fill-and-finish systems.
made of an advanced COC polymer, a relatively new material that’s gaining importance as an alternative to glass. Polymer PFS are inert, light, transparent, and offer a reduced risk of breakage, with the option of larger syringe volumes and an integrated Luer Lock Adapter (LLA).
Each syringe type provides a verified system for safe functionality, with both materials having key strengths and physical properties. Ultimately, the intended use should guide the decision as to which type is more appropriate
The all-in-one container and injection device for vaccines
With its proven container closure integrity, excellent gliding performance, and reliable functionality, is ideal for storing and injecting a broad range of vaccines, from standard to emerging drug models, down to -50 °C. An extensive range of options, including the proven Rigid Cap (SRC) closure system, allows glass PFS to be perfectly tailored to individual vaccine requirements.
Minimized risk of drug-container interaction for biologics
With a focus on patient comfort, safe and easy drug administration, and high functionality, glass PFS are the ideal solution for storing and administering highly sensitive drugs such as complex biologics. Low, uniform silicone levels and tight dimensional specifications support consistent gliding forces and injection times, making syringes highly suitable for autoinjector and homecare use.
The most stable storage for the most sensitive drugs
Coating the inner barrel surface of a syringe with silicone has long been a necessary method to reduce the injection force required to administer drugs. However, silicone can interact with some drugs and even harm them. In contrast with other technologies designed to mitigate the risks associated with silicone-based coatings,silicone-free prefillable syringes feature a glass barrel and plunger free of silicone.
Enhanced by the absence of silicone, the proven quality level of silicone-free opens up new possibilities for the storage and administration of silicone-sensitive drugs in prefillable syringes, saving time for clinicians and improving safety for patients.
Different needs need different care
People deserve the best treatment possible.syringes are available in a variety of formats to deliver that treatment for a host of different needs. Our combination of broad, cross-applicational expertise, technical support, and highly advanced Cyclic Olefin Copolymer (COC) material results in a solution that’s right for you and those who matter the most: your patients.
The portfolio of polymer containers offers customers a highly versatile primary packaging solution that’s suitable for the long-term storage and administering of drugs in healthcare settings and at home. Manufactured using an advanced COC, the containers are break-resistant, lightweight, and transparent, and come with full regulatory support and decades of expertise.
Improve your hospital environment with prefillable COC syringes
infuse syringes ensure that infusion therapy is significantly safer and simpler. With PFS, patients always get the right concentration of the right drug at the right dose, with the cleverly redesigned Adapter easily connecting to all available systems to save time when it’s most precious.
APPLICATIONS
Optimum safety and efficiency for hospital settings
infuse can be used to optimize a variety of medical applications, reducing contamination and medical errors in hospital pharmacies and 503B compounding pharmacies, as well as improving the efficiency of IV lines and pump systems.infuse also enhances infusion therapy in a number of hospital settings, including the administration of acute care drugs in operating theaters and ICUs.
By offering a ready-to-use drug delivery system that results in a longer shelf life and a more flexible automated filling process, these unique syringes also support the fight against drug shortages.
Making your cosmetic treatments simple and comfortable
cosmetic PFS have been specially designed to make aesthetic applications as painless and simple as possible for both doctors and patients. Optimal grip and glide mean more accuracy, less discomfort, and results that speak for themselves.
Making your cosmetic treatments simple and comfortable
cosmetic is the ideal prefillable syringe for the global aesthetic injection market. These syringes have been specially designed to make cosmetic treatments as simple and comfortable as possible for both doctors and patients.
Made of an advanced Cyclic Olefin Copolymer (COC), the syringes offer a three-year shelf life for drug stability, with a shape and design optimized for hyaluronic acid injections. The syringe system also features a reduced inner syringe diameter, which ensures lower extrusion forces while administering the medication in more precise dosages, as well as an integrated Luer Lock for secure needle attachment.

APPLICATIONS
Ideal for hyaluronic acid injections
Dermal fillers have become an integral part of facial plastic surgery to restore volume, with hyaluronic acid being one of the best-known cosmetic fillers for wrinkle injections. As well as its cosmetic applications, hyaluronic acid is also used for medical applications. However, since the gel is highly viscous, doctors need to apply a great deal of force during the injection, and in extreme cases, the high pressure inside the syringe can disconnect the needle hub from the syringe. The application of botulinum toxin (BoNT) demands similar levels of accuracy and patient comfort.
In both cases,cosmetic syringes offer high mechanical resistance and an integrated Luer Lock for reduced needle pop-off or breakage, increasing ease of application and safety
sensitive Ready-to-use prefillable polymer syringes for sensitive drugs
Keeping your biologics and other sensitive drugs stable
In all medical situations, care and vigilance are essential, but certain treatments demand extra thought and attention. sensitive syringes are designed to keep biologics and other sensitive drugs stable and reduce contamination that could impact drug stability.
Made from a break-resistant and lightweight COC material, sensitive syringes offer excellent barrier properties, no ion or heavy metal release, and low protein adsorption for increased drug shelf life. Taken with our extremely stringent production processes, patients will always receive high quality, safe, and effective medical treatment.
APPLICATIONS
Safe and effective storage for complex drugs
sensitive syringes are designed to keep biologics and other sensitive drugs stable, reducing contamination such as extractables and leachables, free radicals, free silicone oil, and subvisible particles that could impact drug stability.
use of the low-impact sterilization methods EtO and steam sterilization, the latest and cleanest rubber formulations, and an immobilized cross-linked siliconization process that reduces free silicone oil and subvisible particles, makes these advanced glass-like syringes highly suitable for sensitive medications.

ADVANTAGES
Increased drug stability and reduced contamination
sensitive syringes use pure elastomeric components for decreased levels of particle load and chemical extractables that are compliant with USP regulations. The inert COC material guarantees no ion or metal release, as well as low protein adsorption for increased drug stability and reduced contamination. In addition, sensitive is manufactured with immobilized, cross-linked silicone, which results in less free silicone and fewer silicone droplets.
