Interphex and a team of industry experts have selected Nemera as winner for this year’s exhibitor awards as Editor’s choice for its Safelia product.
Safelia is an autoinjector for prefilled syringes, available for 1 and 2.25ml sizes, suitable for large volume and high viscosity delivery through thinner needles. Safelia can mechanically “tune” the injection.
It has been designed to ease patients’ self-injection experience and to deliver the most challenging drugs into subcutaneous or intramuscular layers.
