The Coming Wave Of Dual-Chamber Systems For Drug Delivery

Amy Heintz, Senior Research Scientist, Battelle

Dual-chamber systems are of growing interest for enabling drug delivery in multiple settings. In the self-administration drug delivery market, they can reduce the number of handling steps and the potential for error by the patient or caregiver during drug reconstitution. In a wound healing or surgical setting, dual-chamber systems can decrease the time to table for reconstitution or other mixing steps. They also provide a means to simultaneously deliver two independent liquid molecules.
