Component processing is a source of risk and variability, especially for loose particulate and silicone oil that can compromise quality, putting patients at risk. To simplify drug development and streamline manufacturing, pharmaceutical companies can select cartridge plungers and lined seals in a ready-to-use format.
World-class cartridge components are manufactured for consistency and quality. Westar® component processing reduces the risk of variability and its potential effects on drug quality, safety and efficacy. Westar cartridge components can help reduce the risk of product loss and failures.
Westar components offer:
•Validated particle levels in specified size ranges.
•Enhanced device functionality because of the optimized silicone level on the plungers.
•Excellent re-seal properties to meet multi-dose requirements.
•Lower levels of potential extractables, a result of steam sterilization.
•The confidence that your drug cartridge components are manufactured from market-proven elastomer formulations.
Westar cartridge components are available in ready-to-use or ready-to-sterilize formats for flexibility in operations. With either choice, components are supported by detailed technical knowledge documentation packages.

Gene therapies are developed by modifying a person’s genes and are often targeted to treat complex and chronic diseases. Due to advancements in science and research, gene therapy is positioned to transform treatment options for patients who are living with these incurable diseases. There is a growing pipeline of gene therapies globally, with 352 global trials underway at the end of 2019, up 12% from 2017.<sup>1.</sup>
West’s subject matter experts are out and about this spring with speaking engagements and booths booked at a variety of conferences and trade shows.
When the COVID-19 Pandemic shut down the ability for in-person tradeshows and events, we worked to find an alternative solution with a new virtual exhibit designed to replicate the West experience without the risk of in-person interactions. Our team members quickly turned the idea of a booth replacement into an interactive experience for customers to use – both during trade shows and any time there’s a need to connect with us.
We are excited to announce that thanks to the overwhelming support of our team members over the last 18 years, West’s donations to Camp Victory have now surpassed the $1 Million dollar mark! <br />Camp Victory, “a special place for special children,” is a camp located in Millville, PA (near West’s Jersey Shore and Williamsport sites) that serves as a fun camp retreat for children living with chronic health challenges. While at Camp Victory, a specialized staff ensures the children receive the greatest possible care, support and personal growth, while having much fun and making many friends.<br />Camp Victory hosted its first group of campers in 1994 and has grown steadily into the impressive facility and program it is today and has hosted over 30,000 overnight campers and counselors. Daily activities for campers include a variety of options, including archery, waterfront, challenge course, arts and crafts, and much more.
One factor of parenteral drug product quality is the container closure integrity (CCI) of the primary packaging system. The interaction between the sealing surface of the elastomeric component and the vial is vital to ensure stability of the drug product over the shelf life. Therefore, defects found on the elastomeric component can increase the risk of failure or end-of-the-line rejects.
