The incorrect administration of medication can have unpleasant consequences for the patient. This is particularly the case with self-application medicines. Our printed sensor helps to improve the user-friendliness of your refrigerated medication. If the medication is still too cool, it is often painful to apply. In addition, the effectiveness of the medication could be delayed by the wrong viscosity. The label is equipped with sensor technology that turns blue when it is stored below eight degrees Celsius. As soon as the temperature warms above 18 degrees Celsius, the sensor changes color and an 'OK' message is displayed on the label.
APF futurity, the first-to-market recyclable nasal spray pump from Aptar Pharma - this device is the first metal-free nasal spray pump, made from only polyolefin without any disrupting materials.

The advent of the modern autoinjector made it possible to self-administer 1 mL drugs with a patient-friendly device that is supported by a well-defined regulatory pathway and a reasonable development cost. Paving the way for large-volume/high-dose autoinjector combination product development meant that we needed to challenge the status quo, resulting in Maggie 5.0 – an innovative, large-volume, cartridge-based autoinjector built with SHL’s market-proven Needle Isolation Technology (NIT®). A two-step autoinjector that features a customizable cannula, it was developed with a focus on opening new pathways for a wider variety of formulation characteristics, such as large-volume or high-viscosity drugs. The NIT unit eliminates the need for patients to manually attach the needle prior to injection.
