The agreement makes Stevanato Group an exclusive manufacturing partner for the Owen Mumford designed auto-injector. Stevanato Group will mould the components for Aidaptus and provide final and sub-assembly equipment, while also offering market-leading pre-filled syringes to enable pharmaceutical customers to create the final product for patient use. Assembly of the components will be undertaken by both Stevanato Group at its global manufacturing sites and by Owen Mumford at its automated assembly centre in the UK.
Aidaptus is a 2-step, single use auto-injector with a versatile design that accommodates both 1mL and 2.25 mL prefilled glass syringes in the same base device. It also features plunger sensing technology with a self-adjusting plunger rod that automatically adapts to the individual plunger positions and different fill volumes in each syringe, with no change parts required.
Steven Kaufman, VP for drug delivery systems at Stevanato Group added: "The Aidaptus auto-injector platform combines ease of use for patients with faster time-to-market access for pharma organisations. We aim to be the strategic partner with which to develop innovative combination products as we continue the expansion of our integrated capabilities in the drug delivery space, and for this reason we are very excited to work with Owen Mumford and provide access to its exciting new auto-injector platform.”
