Silicone drug-eluting device solutions
Deliver life-altering medications to patients with advanced silicone drug-eluting devices.
Silicone drug-eluting devices
Manufacturers of combination medical devices are discovering the potential for U.S. FDA Drug Master File (DMF) supported silicones from the Avantor® NuSil® brand to create revolutionary products. Drug-eluting devices help get crucial medications to patients with immediate adherence and sustained delivery.
It’s been estimated that 50% of patients don’t take their medicines as prescribed. Silicone drug-eluting devices can help address this healthcare challenge because they enable targeted drug delivery with controlled release. NuSil’s DMF-supported silicones can be considered for use in multiple applications, including molded devices such as intravaginal rings (IVR) or intrauterine devices (IUD) and other medical implants that carry drugs, such as stents and neurostimulation leads.
NuSil scientists are pioneering new ways to transform silicone and equip our pharmaceutical, biopharma and medical device customers with the high purity raw materials required to design and develop combination products which meet their patient adherence goals.
Drug-eluting silicones
NuSil offers DMF-supported silicones with a range of physical properties and characteristics. Their flexibility at the molecular level facilitate controlled loading and release of small molecule and/or macromolecule payloads with properties customized to the specific requirements of combination medical device manufacturers.
Support for regulatory approval
All of our DMF-supported silicones are specifically designed, manufactured and purified to meet the strictest requirements of the healthcare industry. They are supported with complete Type IV drug master files submitted to the U.S. FDA. Over decades, we’ve refined our support systems to meet the high-touch needs of our customers, delivering support throughout the entire commercialization process.
