Advantages of pre-filled syringe systems - an overview

For self-injecting patients, pre-filled systems mean a high degree of flexibility and independence, simple handling, the discrete appearance of the injector and reduction of injuries: In addition, there are other aspects, from the point of view of pharmaceutical companies and physicians, which speak for the use of pre-filled syringe systems:

Product differentiation in the market
Cost savings from optimized drug use due to low overdosing requirements in pre-filled syringes in comparison to vials
Reduced material requirements, simple storage and disposal
Better patient compliance
Simplified drug administration
Simple administration and great convenience for hospital personnel
Fewer needle injuries
Reduced risk of microbiological contaminations
Reduction of cross-infections (since re-use of the needle is not necessary)
Reduction of misidentification since systems are labelled
High dosage accuracy and sterility assurance due to machine filling
