Gas-Powered Autoinjector Platform Enables Biologics Drug Delivery

OVERVIEW

In this article, Matt McCawley, Chief Technology Officer, and Albie Lavin, Technical Advisory Consultant, both at Altaviz, discuss the company’s universal biologics autoinjector platform, highlighting how its gas-powered drive system, based on Pico-Cylinders, provides numerous benefits over legacy spring-powered autoinjectors.
