Drug delivery

Built on our knowledge and understanding gained from hundreds of injectable projects for 70+ global clients, our experience in the parenteral sector positions us perfectly to add speed, efficiency, agility and rigor to your device development programmes. We provide support across technical disciplines, covering all stages of development from direction setting to post launch trouble shooting and lifecycle management.

Our experience includes all types of devices and combination products. This includes vials, pre-filled syringes, pen injectors, autoinjectors, on body and near body pump systems – mechanical and electro-mechanical – covering intra-dermal, sub-cutaneous and intra-muscular delivery, needle-based or needle-free. Our expertise extends beyond devices themselves to include patient support information (paper-based and digital) and packaging as well as assembly, test and inspection equipment.

With a proven ability to solve technical, commercial and regulatory challenges, our focus is on helping you de-risk development programmes while moving as swiftly as possible. Working collaboratively, we help you confidently navigate critical decisions to achieve safe and effective, robust and commercially successful parenteral solutions for your patients.

Delivering end to end expertise in pulmonary drug delivery devices, we support clients from early concepting through pilot production, design V&V and post launch. Our experience spans all types of respiratory systems including pMDIs, blister-based single-dose and multi-dose DPIs, capsule and reservoir based DPIs, soft-mist inhalers and nebulizers.

As well as carrying out full developments, we assist with specific challenges including overcoming issues with aerosol performance, improving manufacturability, optimizing user interaction and navigating regulatory pathways. Our highly experienced team combines insight, creativity and rigor to help you create robust, reliable and commercially viable patient-centric solutions, whether improving improving existing platforms or developing next generation inhalation technologies.

Building on our deep, multi-disciplinary expertise in drug delivery systems and combined with our 40-year history in other medical device sectors including surgical, diagnostics and MedTech, we are increasingly working with clients to push the boundaries of healthcare in targeted drug delivery.

As part of a drive to enable more personalized medicine, this includes work in areas such as oncology, cell and gene therapies and radiopharmaceuticals. Our work spans intratumoral delivery of liquids and solids, image guided delivery deep within cranial tissue, direct to organ, catheter-based, ocular and aural delivery, as well as local delivery via active oral systems.

To address challenges associated with this sector we have developed and deployed specialist skills and techniques including advanced tissue modelling (combining in silico simulation with empirical tissue characterization), multi modal imaging, biosensor development and system monitoring and controls. This allows optimization of dose accuracy, placement and distribution, to help clients unlock new opportunities in these complex therapy areas.

With over 15 years of ocular drug delivery experience, we have supported pharma and biotech companies across 36+ ocular projects and 800+ human factors sessions, including work with more than 650 ophthalmology clinicians. Our expertise spans sprays, vial kits, pre-filled syringes, sustained release implants, subretinal and transvitreal delivery, as well as digital tools supporting advanced ophthalmic therapies.

We provide end to end development and specialist support – from early concept generation and technology scouting to usability studies, design development and optimization, risk management and regulatory preparation. Our experts help you create and ensure safe, intuitive and effective ocular delivery systems that meet the needs of both clinicians and patients.

Our experience in the nasal sector ranges from landscaping and device selection for intranasal delivery, full technology device development, production troubleshooting including delivered dose and plume characterization, and issue resolution in nasal spray manufacturing.

We have supported the development and pilot production of novel intranasal delivery technologies, ensuring robust performance, manufacturability and user centred design. Our multi-disciplinary teams bring human factors insight, design thinking, engineering rigour and applied science understanding to help you overcome key challenges from concept generation to regulatory submission.

We help you enhance your drug delivery solution through advanced digital health approaches that improve adherence, engagement and patient outcomes. With decades of drug delivery expertise, we help Pharma and MedTech teams accelerate development, de-risk decision making and meet global regulatory requirements, delivering digital solutions that enable smarter, more effective therapies.

Our experts design digital companions, smart packaging, digital IFUs and behaviour led UX/UI to support onboarding and long term treatment success. We integrate SaMD, remote monitoring, digital biomarkers and connected device ecosystems to create seamless experiences that strengthen safety, usability and real world insights.
