    Brevetti Angela to present latest Prefilled Syringe solution to BFS IOA American meeting

    Vicenza, Italy: – Leading manufacturer of high technology pharma packaging machinery, Brevetti Angela Srl, will showcase its most recent developments in the field of injection devices at October’s BFS International Operators Association American Meeting in Columbia, South Carolina.

    This year it will outline the stages of the world-leading experience in production of injection devices, that led to the innovative O-Flow prefilled syringe produced by sister company 3CK,. O-Flow represents the 5th Generation of Brevetti Angela-developed prefilled syringe.

    A long history of R&D

    As a leading member of the BFS IOA, Brevetti Angela has co-sponsored all the association’s events for the past decade and more. As usual, it will contribute to the science and technology conference agenda with Sales & Marketing Director Rajeev Kabbur presenting ‘Update on new generation of prefilled syringes ‘ on the first day of the conference (October 12, afternoon session).

    Brevetti Angela has been manufacturing Blow Fill Seal machines for 45 years. While the first SYFPAC machines were mainly produced for bottles, vials and ampoules, in the late 1990s Brevetti Angela started researching on Prefilled Syringes and produced the first BFS machine for injection devices. Research on this new field never stopped since that first machine, and saw the birth of several generations of prefilled syringes. The first device was a squeezable, single-use container; it was followed by a two-component syringe with embedded needle, and by a more standard-looking device with plunger, with volumes ranging from 0.5ml to 20ml.

    Silicone -free advantages  

    Mr. Kabbur will explain how one of the main issues with prefilled syringes is the presence of silicone oil, which is necessary to smooth  plunger movement, but also poses problems such as formation of submicron- and micron-size silicone oil droplets when syringe is agitated, potentially leading to early- and late-stage immune responses.

    The solution proposed by Brevetti Angela in collaboration with 3CK overcomes such problems by eliminating the presence of silicone oil. A syringe with no silicone oil will be able to minimize subvisible particles in the administered drug while also completely eliminating break loose force, making plunger movement much easier and more controlled. The new syringes also use materials with lower protein adsorption properties to suppress protein aggregation.

    Enhanced compliance

    When designing an injection device, it is important to keep an eye to compliance: aspects like a compact form, improved dosing accuracy, and independence from expensive sterile secondary packaging can be particularly important. The latest generation of syringes that Brevetti Angela have developed with 3CK have been designed to have large printable surface available to print product related information by laser with very high contrast. Their design also allows to be formable from several different materials, including PP, COC, COP, Multilayer, TPE, TPV, and Bromobutyle that can both reduce oxygen and moisture transmission and also help reduce extractables and leachables.

    “As the specific association for Blow Fill Seal manufacturing, the BFS IOA American meeting is also a key date on our calendar,” commented Mr. Kabbur.

    “As one of the world’s leading BFS players, we always look forward to these meetings as a great platform to present our latest innovations and hear about current trends and demands in the market,” he added.
