Developing Coated Large Volume Plungers for Auto-injector and Wearable Devices

Date & Time April 21, 2026 • 2:20 PM
Paolo Ferrigno, Product Manager, Prefilled Syringes and Cartridges at Datwyler, explores the technical journey behind designing and manufacturing coated large-volume plungers for prefilled syringe and cartridge containers intended for auto-injector and wearable device integration. As large-volume devices exceeding 3ml become pivotal in transitioning patients from IV treatments to subcutaneous self-administration across oncology, immunology, and neurodegenerative disease, the demands on elastomer quality, purity, and functional performance have never been greater. Attendees will learn how NeoFlex™ plungers are developed under Datwyler's FirstLine® quality standard, the Quality by Design (QbD) principles behind their design and manufacturing, compatibility with common filling techniques, and why open collaboration across container manufacturers and combination product stakeholders is essential to bringing these next-generation delivery systems to market.
