Pre-filled syringes, PFS

Pre-filled syringes (PFS) are one of the latest innovations for administering injectable medicines. Biotech and pharmaceutical companies use PFS to supply products such as protein drugs and vaccines.

There are many advantages of using PFS:

• PFS are safe. The personnel administering medicines or vaccines are less exposed to the risk of piercing wounds or toxic substances on the skin. Medical personnel and patients avoid the risk of contamination that is always present when pulling up medicines from vials. PFS also provide exact doses so the risk of dosage mistakes is reduced.
• PFS do not need to be overfilled, which is cost-effective and reduces waste. In comparison, vials are often overfilled by around 25%. Not overfilling is particularly advantageous when the medicine or vaccine includes expensive active components.
• PFS are easy to use. It saves healthcare professionals’ time by removing the need to measure exact amounts of medicine. In many cases, patients can use PFS at home, which reduces patient and healthcare system burden.

We can fill medicines or medical products into PFS, with several syringe and needle solutions. As with other formulations, we can fill both clinical trial medications and commercial products in PFS.

We manufacture PFS at our dedicated facility for sterile and aseptic production.
