Event Overview

Focused Technical Dialogue for Pharmaceutical Experts

PDA Miniverse brings together a focused community of European pharmaceutical professionals for intensive technical dialogue on combination products, medical devices, and connected health, and Datwyler participated to engage quality, manufacturing, and regulatory teams from across the EU.

About our talk

Paolo Ferrigno, Product Manager Prefilled Syringes and Cartridges at Datwyler, joined Valerio Ravazzolo of Stevanato Group and Greg Moakes of LTS Device Technologies to present "Enabling Large Volume Subcutaneous Delivery: A Collaborative Approach Among Suppliers to Accelerating Market Readiness," covering

  • How early, structured collaboration among device, primary packaging, and elastomer suppliers reduces development complexity and accelerates time to market for On-Body Delivery Systems

  • Data-driven insights into break-loose and gliding profiles, dose efficiency, and hold-up volume across varying viscosities

Want to connect?

Find us at Table #14, where our team comes prepared with the data and the collaborative mindset to help you find the right path forward, including Datwyler's comprehensive portfolio of:

  • The first-to-market 20ml universal NeoFlex™ plunger for large-volume injectables

Enabling Large Volume Subcutaneous Delivery: A Collaborative Approach among Suppliers to Accelerating Market Readiness

Date & Time May 22, 2026 • 1:10 PM
Paolo Ferrigno, Product Manager, Prefilled Syringes and Cartridges at Datwyler, joins Valerio Ravazzolo of Stevanato Group and Greg Moakes of LTS Device Technologies to explore how early, structured collaboration among device, primary packaging, and elastomer suppliers can significantly reduce development complexity and accelerate time to market for On-Body Delivery Systems (OBDSs). As subcutaneous biologics grow in volume, viscosity, and therapeutic complexity, OBDSs represent a critical but challenging path to market — and this session presents a platform-based development approach that leverages pre-verified compatibility between on-body delivery devices, ready-to-use cartridges, and elastomeric components. Attendees will gain data-driven insights into break-loose and gliding profiles, dose efficiency, hold-up volume across varying viscosities, and fragmentation and sub-visible particle performance — alongside a structured methodology for test plan design that helps pharmaceutical companies streamline OBDS integration, mitigate component compatibility risks, and support faster commercialization of subcutaneous biologics.
