Viscosity is a challenge for many biopharmaceutical formulators given that a number of biologics are highly viscous. The automatic delivery of high-viscosity drugs is an important milestone for parenteral drug delivery. There is currently no known such device on the market that can deliver such high viscosities.
According to a press release by the company, "there has been no effective way of delivering high-viscosity drugs through a prefilled syringe, without extreme pain to the patient (due a large needle bore) and physical discomfort." Oval novel innovation now offers potential for drugs to be administered by the patient in the comfort of their own home.
