The Credence Companion® Staked Needle Syringe
The Ideal Companion for Your Drug Delivery Strategy
Today’s pharmaceutical companies are tasked with facilitating the safe and effective delivery of their medications and differentiating their products while controlling costs across the manufacturing process. The Companion™ Staked Needle Syringe meets those demands with a drug delivery system that enhances safety and usability while making it easier, more efficient, and faster to go to market with innovative products as well as minimizing disruption to manufacturing processes.
The High Cost of Status Quo
Too many pharma companies are paying the high cost of traditional drug delivery systems that require complex and inefficient manufacturing and assembly. Add the expense of excess waste, packaging and shipping, storage and inventory, and safety risks, and you’ve got a delivery system that simply doesn’t deliver ROI. Increase your efficiencies and reduce your costs with the Companion Staked Needle Syringe. Here’s how.
Reduce Manufacturing Steps & Waste
Eliminate capital expenditures, manufacturing steps as well as extra scrap and waste with the integrated needle safety of the Companion Staked Needle Syringe and its simplified secondary assembly process that only requires the Companion Plunger Rod.
Resolve Premature Safety Activation
The Companion Staked Needle Syringe addresses the problem of premature safety activation, thereby minimizing potential customer complaints and removing potential barriers to regulatory approvals.
Avoid Safety-Related Costs
Innovative design features such as passive, automatic needle retraction protect HCP’s and patients and reduce the risk, cost and liability associated with needlestick injuries and lack of compliance to needlestick prevention mandates.
Improve Inventory Efficiencies
Featuring a small footprint, lighter weight and integrated safety system, the Companion Staked Needle Syringe requires fewer pallets and less storage space, making it more efficient to transport in-plant.
Save on Packaging & Shipping
The Companion Staked Needle Syringe’s light weight and compact size help the bottom line by lowering costs associated with final packaging and shipping.
Your Complex and Challenging Drugs, Delivered
For pharma companies that deliver drugs with sensitive biologics, high viscosity, high volume demands, and other requirements, these complexities often present added challenges and costs. The Companion Staked Needle Syringe is the ideal choice for complex drugs, accommodating special requirements and supporting more cost-effective delivery, with features that allow for compatibility and flexibility.
High Viscosity and Volume? No Problem.
The Companion Staked Needle Syringe platform readily incorporates extra-thin wall and short needles (8mm) to handle high viscosity applications and can accommodate larger syringe barrel formats for high-volume needs.
Built for Sensitive Biologics
Glue-free, and with the ability to isolate the drug from steel or tungsten if required, the Companion Staked Needle Syringe delivers exceptional compatibility for sensitive biologics that must avoid contact with unwanted materials. Needle isolation technology also offers an ideal solution for concentrated solutions and suspensions that have a propensity to clog needles.
Product Variants
The Companion Staked Needle Syringe is compatible with a wide variety of plunger stoppers, needle shields, glass and polymer syringe barrels, and siliconization treatments, allowing you to select just the right system for your drug.
Prioritize Your Users. Differentiate Your Product.
While finding ways to lower costs and drive innovation, pharma companies must also develop drug products that users can deliver safely and effectively. Your drug delivery system plays a make-or-break role in enabling this and creating a positive and preferred user experience. The Companion Staked Needle Syringe checks all the boxes users want most in groundbreaking design, usability, and safety.
Safety First
Eliminate capital expenditures, manufacturing steps as well as extra scrap and waste with the integrated needle safety of the Companion Staked Needle Syringe and its simplified secondary assembly process that only requires the Companion Plunger Rod.
Reduced Chance of Error
Intuitive user cues and a familiar injection technique also serve to reduce user error for added safety and confidence.
Simplified Use
The system’s pre-attached needle simplifies steps for the user while further reducing the chance for error. Clear visibility of the syringe barrel and drug product allows for easier visual inspection, as well as conventional air bubble removal and aspiration.
End-of-Dose and Safety Activation Cues
End-of-dose cues, including an audible and tactile click, make it easy to determine when the injection has been completed. The needle automatically retracts into the syringe barrel, disabling the syringe and making it ready for safe disposal.
Sustainable Success
Sustainability is a top priority — and challenge — for a growing number of pharma companies. As pharma manufacturers incur significant costs to offset their carbon footprints, many are seeking ways to embrace more sustainable practices to save costs and build goodwill. Make the Companion Staked Needle Syringe part of your strategy to drive sustainability improvements while reducing waste and costs.
Lighter Weight
The Companion Staked Needle Syringe reduces the weight of added components by at least 54% compared to the conventional add-on approach, lowering the cost and environmental impact associated with shipping and transportation.
Less Plastic
Reducing plastic use by 60%, the Companion Staked Needle Syringe provides a cost-effective alternative to paying for carbon offsets and other sustainable strategies.
Smaller Footprint
The system’s compact, lightweight design reduces the footprint occupied before injection by 53% and after injection by 67%, minimizing storage requirements, disposal volume, waste, and energy consumption.
Sustained Savings
Along with environmental benefits, this smaller footprint saves significant costs related to manufacturing, packaging, shipping, inventory, disposal, and more.
Innovation Without Change®. Innovation Without Disruption.
Differentiating your drug product and competing in today’s crowded pharmaceutical market require an ongoing commitment to innovation. But that innovation should not come with unnecessary risk and cost associated with re-engineering your manufacturing processes or deviating from industry standard components. The Companion Staked Needle Syringe allows you to innovate without disrupting your current processes or changing from the primary package components you know and trust.
Your Choice
With the Companion Staked Needle Syringe, you can select your preferred syringes, plunger stoppers, and needle shields based on the requirements of your application or your sourcing preferences.
No Disruption to Your Process
There’s no need to disrupt your filling process with the Companion Staked Needle Syringe. The syringes arrive pre-sterilized and ready for filling in industry-standard conventional tubs.
Pre-Attached or User-Attached
For added flexibility with applications that require different needle lengths depending on injection sites and patient characteristics, Companion needle-retraction technology can also be applied in a Multi-Length Needle™ or User-Attached Needle format to meet your needs.
