International Pharmaceutical Expo (INTERPHEX), the premier event dedicated to pharmaceutical and biotechnology innovation, technology, and knowledge from development through commercialization and sponsored by the Parenteral Drug
Association (PDA), has announced the winners for the INTERPHEX Exhibitor Awards for 2017.

Nemera was recognised for the ‘Editor’s choice’ for Safelia®. Safelia is an innovative autoinjector for prefilled syringes, available for 1 and 2.25m sizes, suitable for large volume and high viscosity delivery through thinner needles. Safelia® can mechanically "tune" the injection thanks to design adjustments.

It has been designed to ease patients’ self-injection experience and to deliver the most challenging drugs, in subcutaneous or intramuscular layers.

Key benefits of Safelia

Patient friendly

  • No initial injection peak
  • Constant delivery flow
  • Adjustable needle insertion speed
  • Needle insertion disconnected from injection
  • Automatic needle retraction
  • Possibility to have thinner needles.

Syringe friendly

  • Syringe is held encapsulated through the barrel
  • Syringe front housing
  • No stress on the syringe flange
  • Possibility to inject very viscous drugs.
