🔍 Case Study: Custom Plunger for Biologic Drug Delivery
Challenge: A pharmaceutical company needed custom silicone plungers for a 2.25ml prefilled syringe containing a high-concentration monoclonal antibody with specific pH and viscosity characteristics.
Solution: We developed a proprietary low-extractables silicone formulation with Shore A 55 hardness, applied permanent PTFE coating, and designed a triple-rib sealing geometry optimized for their barrel dimensions.
Result: Achieved consistent 10-12N injection force, zero leakage over 24-month shelf life, and passed ISO 10993 biocompatibility testing. Currently in commercial production at 2 million units per month.
