Needle-free injector unveiled
Pioneering medical devices developer, The Medical House, has unveiled its latest advance in needle-free injectors.
The Alternative Investment Market-listed company has supplied pharmaceuticals company Merck Serono with the new Cool.click2, which has been designed and manufactured in Sheffield to the German-based company's specifications.
The new injector – which uses a jet instead of a needle to inject drugs through the skin – includes an innovative dose display, not previously found on needle-free injectors, an enhanced security system to ensure safe injection and is quieter than previous devices.
Medical House chief executive, Ian Townsend, said: "I am extremely delighted to report that this new technology is now being launched commercially; it is the result of a great deal of hard work by the staff at The Medical House and Merck Serono.
"I believe that this will prove to be a significant landmark in the progression of our company as a global player in the drug delivery market and we look forward to supplying the healthcare industry with devices and consumables for many years to come."
Merck Serono will use the Cool.click2 to complement its existing range of devices for self-injecting Saizen, a drug used to treat growth hormone deficiencies in adults and children, which is also used to treat some other paediatric conditions in certain countries.
