The V-Go wearable insulin delivery system features an injection-molded precision measuring device made from Polyplastics’ TOPAS cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) and will be presented at K.O.D. in Düsseldorf, Germany, October 19-26. Introduced at the 2022 exhibition. .
Injection-molded metering devices made of TOPAS COC provide drug compatibility and dimensional stability of this product for daily diabetes care.
V-Go, a product from MannKind Corporation, is a once-daily wearable insulin delivery device that helps provide blood sugar control into your daily lifestyle. Designed to be patient-friendly, V-Go fits like a patch and eliminates the need for multiple daily injections. Simple in design, it works just like an injection as it is manually controlled with the push of a button for a bolus dose.
A key component of V-Go’s insulin delivery products is a precision metering device made with TOPAS COC. According to Jeffrey Zajac, Executive Director of V-Go Device Manufacturing, after exhaustive research and evaluation, it outperforms competing thermoplastics due to its purity, drug compatibility, biocompatibility, and dimensional stability. material has been selected. TOPAS COC can also be molded with zero draft angle.
“TOPAS COC will play a key role in the metering device for the V-Go insulin delivery product,” said Zajac. “We found that it is very stable in contact with drugs and has excellent optical clarity. In addition, it has excellent dimensional stability and excellent injection molding properties with minimal shrinkage. Offers.”
Unlike other engineering thermoplastics and glasses, TOPAS COC provides a non-ionic, minimally reactive surface. This non-polar substrate does not promote adsorption, denaturation, aggregation, or precipitation. “The glass-clear TOPAS resin exhibits very low leachables and extractables compared to glass and other medical-grade polymers for drug delivery, resulting in long-term drug purity and high yields. You can achieve better quality at a lower rate.
