In a previous post, my colleague Fran DeGrazio discussed lifecycle planning and the use of a single material for packaging components from development through commercialization. There has been a great deal of innovation around drug container materials. Although glass has been the traditional material of choice for drug containment, it has significant limitations including breakage, glass particulate, visual quality and functional performance.
Glass syringe systems require siliconization to enable mechanical performance when used in a delivery system, and this material can interact with certain drug products, causing aggregation.
Recent developments around the use of polymeric materials for drug containment have allowed delivery system companies to work closely with drug manufacturers to develop novel systems designed specifically to meet patient needs. The design and manufacturing flexibility of a polymeric drug container, combined with the ability to create patient-friendly devices designed with human factors engineering, enables the design of more innovative overall delivery systems that may aid in patient compliance through ease of use and enhanced technology. Cyclic olefin polymers such as the Daikyo Crystal Zenith® polymer provide a transparent, break-resistant alternative to glass.
