Serum Institute of India (SII), has announced an investment in IntegriMedical, acquiring a 20 per cent stake in the company, to advance Needle-Free Injection System technology.
IntegriMedical has developed a US patented Needle-Free Injection System (N-FIS) that utilises high-velocity jet stream using mechanical power to effectively and consistently administer biologics and drugs. The innovative drug delivery solution aims to alleviate pain during administration, providing needle-phobic patients with a pleasant and stress-free experience.
