For the past two decades, single-use disposable autoinjectors have become the predominant drug delivery device to treat immunosuppressive and inflammatory diseases, and a range of other health conditions. Autoinjectors have evolved to become more compact, reliable, and easy to use; however, these devices also possess certain suboptimal characteristics associated with single-use products. New innovations can now overcome the challenges of traditional disposable autoinjector technology, while providing a proven platform for pharmaceutical companies.
