Silicone drug delivery

Silicone drug delivery system

Manufacturers of combination medical devices are discovering the potential for the excipient-grade silicones from the Avantor^® NuSil^® brand to create revolutionary products. These silicone drug delivery systems help get crucial medications to patients with immediate adherence and sustained delivery.

It’s been estimated that 50% of patients don’t take their medicines as prescribed. Silicone drug delivery can help address this healthcare challenge because they allow medical devices to deliver targeted drug delivery with controlled release. NuSil’s excipient-grade silicones can be used in multiple applications, including molded devices such as intravaginal rings (IVR) or intrauterine devices (IUD) and other medical implants that carry drugs such as stents.

NuSil scientists are pioneering new ways to transform silicone to meet the adherence goals of our pharmaceutical, biopharma, and medical device customers.
