World-leading expertise in delivering disposable variable dose injectors from strategy to market

We have worked on the detailed development and industrialisation of an extensive portfolio of market-leading disposable injection devices.

We know how to deliver designs that are optimised for high volume production, robust and cost efficient, whilst remaining true to the product vision.

High performance reusable injectors

Our design and development work encompasses market-leading reusable devices that have been engineered to provide reliable performance over extended lifetimes.

As our industry focuses increasingly on sustainability and cost of treatment, this experience gives us insights that are more relevant than ever.

Technical capability combined with a deep understanding of human factors

Our multidisciplinary team has the perfect mix of skills and practical experience to develop injectors that meet the complex challenges of wearable formats.

Innovative multi-fixed dose devices

Our extensive development experience includes innovative multi-fixed dose devices that simplify the user experience within a cost-competitive package.

Single dose autoinjectors that make self injection easier

We have significant expertise in developing automatically powered mechanical and electro-mechanical injection devices that provide the simplest of user experiences.

Spring driven devices that bring innovation and ease of use to established delivery systems

We know how to solve the particular challenges of storing and harnessing spring power within sophisticated delivery devices that can make self-administration even easier for patients.

Helping our clients connect with the future

Our connected drug delivery device development is enabled by our detailed understanding of system architecture design, connectivity options, medical device software, low power processing, sensors and actuators, compact product design, antenna design, power source selection, battery management techniques and cybersecurity.

The artefact experts for a digital ecosystem

Our world class technical skill set combined with our industrial design, user experience and user interface development expertise make our multidisciplinary service ideally suited to delivering products that work efficiently and effectively within new and expanding digital eco-systems.

Closing the loop for drug delivery

Our multidisciplinary teams are experienced in the development of mechanical and electromechanical connected delivery systems that have the potential to help enable closed loop treatments.

Packaging, labelling and instructions that integrate better

Packaging, labelling and instructions should never be an afterthought. Our approach is to develop packaging and instructions in parallel with the device in order to create more engaging and holistic user experiences that improve compliance and reduce error.

Cutting edge engineering design

Combining multiple disciplines with rigour and creativity to generate innovative design solutions to deliver successful products.

Intelligent application of state of the art analysis to create better designs, faster

We are experts in first principles mathmodelling of device systems. We use class-leading analysis software intelligently in combination with physical testing to better develop our designs and make more accurate predictions of real world performance.

Prototyping centre and test labs

Our comprehensive in-house prototyping and testing facilities enable us to rapidly iterate and validate design concepts with confidence, at all stages of the development process.

The skills and experience to generate evidence for clear project direction

Understanding people, uncovering insights, bridging insight and design, creating new opportunities, making better design decisions. We are expert in carrying out research specifically for medical device design.

A highly creative team with in-depth IP experience

With over 4,000 patent applications and 1,700 granted patents since 2000, we bring a wealth of experience to help navigate complex IP landscapes.

Helping our clients to develop more sustainable drug delivery solutions

Our work to improve the sustainability of products across consumer, healthcare and medical device markets has been recognised with prestigious international design awards.

Together with our clients, we are committed to continuing this important work through the application of grounded eco-design principles.
