PLAJEX™ Ready-to-Fill Polymer Syringe with Tapered Needle

PLAJEX™ Ready-to-Fill Polymer Syringes with Tapered Needles offer the better injectability without compromising patient comfort for pharmaceutical manufacturers who need to overcome injectability problems associated with highly viscous concentrated formulations1.

Characteristics

Ready-to-Fill Polymer Syringes with Tapered Needle


Integrating a proprietary tapered needle technology with a robust 1ml long silicone oil-free polymer syringe, Terumo’s advanced syringe system reduces injection forces without compromising patient comfort. Featuring a polymer-based barrel with excellent strength and clarity, and Terumo’s proprietary i-coatingTM technology on the plunger stopper, the silicone oil-free syringe system is designed to preserve sensitive biotherapeutics2.

PLAJEX™ Ready-to-Fill Polymer Syringes with Tapered Needles offer the quality and supply reliability needed to meet parenteral delivery challenges and product commercialization goals. 


Patient comfort and quality 

  • Carefully crafted tapered needle allows a proven reduction in the necessary injection force, especially for highly viscous non-Newtonian fluids such as some monoclonal antibodies1
  • 29G at the point of patient contact, 24G at the syringe tip
  • Advanced Cyclo Olefin Polymer (COP) syringe moulded for excellent strength and clarity, the syringe is silicone oil-free, tungsten-free, and adhesive-free
  • Lower interactions with proteins, COP barrel ready for today’s advanced biotherapeutics2
  • Integrated plunger stopper featuring Terumo's proprietary i-coating™ technology provides a consistent and predictable gliding force

Striving for global presence

  • Compatible with certain add-on devices3,4 (autoinjector, needle safety device) 
  • Syinges are steam sterilized, nested, and ready for filling and finishing in controlled environments
  • Proven track record of reliable supply assured by global operating company
