Gx Inbeneo®
Gx Inbeneo® is the first Gerresheimer autoinjector platform. It has been designed for safe and simple self-administration of high-viscosity drug products in volumes of up to 3 ml.
Gx Inbeneo® has an innovative pre-pressurized, cartridge-based design with a double-ended needle that is separated from the cartridge until usage. Risk of needle clogging during storage is eliminated and the pre-pressurized system reduces or dissolves gas bubbles that can lead to aggregation. The design also allows for easy adaption to a specific drug formulation and volume.
To balance injection time and patient comfort, the single-use autoinjector has a patented double-ended needle with different diameters at each end. This enables drug products with higher viscosities to be delivered in less time than with a standard needle.
Gx SensAir®
Gx SensAir® is an adaptable drug delivery device platform developed by Gerresheimer to meet the growing demand for the subcutaneous delivery of biologic drug products in large volume. Gx SensAir® is designed to facilitate home care for a wide range of indications. The device can connect to the cloud by smartphone and data can be transferred to healthcare providers for monitoring.
Gx SensAir® was developed in line with our EcoDesign principles and is composed of a reusable module containing the electronics and a disposable module containing the fluid path and needle. There is no need to sterilize or cold-store the entire product and the electronics module can be re-used multiple times before being recycled. This innovation reduces carbon footprint and may decrease treatment costs.
Respimetrix
Gerresheimer is utilizing innovative technology to streamline the inhalation process, enhancing treatments for COPD and asthma patients. Our device, Respimetrix, is specially designed to work with diverse pressurized metered dose inhalers and utilizes a patient's inhalation flow rate to record data during drug administration. This data is easily accessed through a user-friendly app on the patient's smartphone, enabling health professionals to provide accurate treatment guidance, and make necessary adjustments to improve outcomes. By creating this data-driven, digital solution, Gerresheimer is revolutionizing lung disease treatment and upholding our commitment to improve patient care worldwide.
Traceability Solutions
Gerresheimer is establishing itself as a crucial player in the world of Pharma 4.0 by offering innovative, interconnected systems. Our primary packaging can be equipped with a unique identification code, allowing it to be easily tracked throughout the entire manufacturing and supply process with a digital twin.
The resulting transparency streamlines processes, deters counterfeit production and safeguards against potential drug mix-ups or errors in the production line. Beyond that, there is a growing call for increased traceability within the pharmaceutical industry from regulatory authorities and customers alike. With Gerresheimer's data-driven approach, we are poised to meet this demand with innovative solutions.
