This technology is the only dial-a-dose medication pen that can be filled by the user, globally. This pen can be adapted to hold different volumes of fluid and dosages. Even though this device was created originally for botulinum cosmetic use, this same technology has the potential for 3 product lines:
BTXpen botulinum
MYpen self-injections
PETpen pet insulin
Current version:
For every 1 unit dialed, 1 unit of fluid is dispensed, 2 units dialed, 2 units of fluid is dispensed.... up to 10 units
100 IU per ml
Future version examples:
Micro-injections: for injecting amounts less than 1 unit. There is a desire in the aesthetic market to deliver botulinum in microinjections. This means that the product will be delivered in highly concentrated doses, with smaller fluid volumes. Current syringes on the market cannot support this creating a need for a specialized device. Our technology can support microinjection devices.
2.5:1 For every 1 unit dialed, 2.5 units of fluid is dispensed, 2 units dialed, 5 units of fluid is dispensed....up to 10 units
40 IU per ml
3ml volume dispensing .1 ml to 1.0 ml
With the rising cost of health care and chronic diseases there is an increased rise in injectables being sent home with patients for self-administration.
