Drug Delivery Systems

The growing number of patients in need of intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous, or targeted organ drug delivery, is pushing for innovations in the field of efficient drug delivery. The various new-age drug delivery devices and machines include auto-injectors, safety syringes, syringe-based infusion pumps, volumetric infusion pumps, micro-infusion pumps, nutritional pumps, peritoneal dialysis machines, ocular implants, and inhalers. The innovation-driven drug delivery systems increase patient safety, expedite outcomes, reduce pressure on medical practitioners, and cut down both costs and time taken.

There is an emphasis on MedTech and the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) to provide connected devices, health systems, and software applications that offer cost reduction and enhanced patient experience. OEMs are also looking for freedom to operate and easy patentability to design and develop generic devices and increase bioavailability. Enterprises are looking to minimize harmful raw materials and use sustainable manufacturing practices to develop medical devices. The use of biocompatible material and compostable packaging are also gaining popularity.

With deep expertise in healthcare design and engineering, Tata Elxsi is aiding OEMs and medical companies to develop futuristic, outcome-oriented drug delivery systems, thereby offering improved efficiencies and cost advantages.
