A Pointed Legacy of Innovation
The Evolution of the Autoinjector
From the very beginning of the autoinjector’s history, Kindeva Drug Delivery has led the way in innovating self-administered injectables. Millions of people worldwide rely on these devices for lifesaving treatment, and we have continually evolved and adapted our platforms to provide a better experience for our patients.
Before the autoinjector
Military personnel and allergy sufferers relied on options that were difficult to use and required a complex series of steps, delaying treatment in emergencies.
1959 Space to the battlefield
One of our first autoinjector platforms was the AtroPen® -providing fast, reliable self-injection options in emergency situations. This platform supplied a number of products to the military as well as NASA, which relied on our autoinjectors starting in 1961 with the Project Mercury spaceflight program onward.
1970 ComboPen® platform
We created this platform to deliver medical countermeasures in the field more efficiently while navigating complex regulations.
2002 BinaJect® platform
With this platform, we brought an industry-leading dual-chamber option to market that enhanced stability for intramuscular injections, keeping drugs separated in vitro and in vivo.
2009 TruJect™ platform
We introduced the next generation of easy and reliable single-chamber autoinjectors with integrated sharps protection.
2024 Next-generation autoinjectors
Our next-generation platform is designed for reliability, usability, and patient experience. It is built for expansion with options for single or dual chambers, liquid or dry APIs, and prefilled syringes or cartridges.
Looking To The Future
With a rich legacy of firsts and a strong foundation of expertise, Kindeva Drug Delivery continues to innovate drug-device combination products. We leverage our century of experience to navigate today’s challenges and bring improved therapies to market across not only injectable but also pulmonary & nasal and transdermal drug delivery.
