Düsseldorf/Paris, December 04, 2018 – On February 6 and 7, Gerresheimer will be showcasing its products at the Pharmapack in Paris with its new subsidiary Sensile Medical AG for the first time.

It is already working very successfully on projects with customers to develop devices for diabetics and patients with heart disease and in other treatment areas such as Parkinson’s disease.

The micro rotary piston pump – small and precise in dosage

Sensile Medical AG has developed a new kind of patented micro pump, which is the key component of all product platforms. SenseCore is small and very precise in dosage. Consisting of only two plastic parts, it can be produced at a low cost. Thanks to its high degree of flexibility, it is compatible with a variety of drugs.

Wearable micro pump certified to EU standards for Parkinson’s treatment

A wearable micro pump of this type designed specifically for the treatment of Parkinson’s received the EU certificate only recently. A European pharmaceutical company has obtained the CE declaration and will now launch the product on the market. This is makes it the first micropump by Gerresheimer’s subsidiary Sensile Medical to be used commercially. The micro pump is used in advanced Parkinson’s treatment.
