About the ReadyToGo Wearable Injectors

The Unilife portfolio of ReadyToGo wearable injectors is a game-changing platform that addresses the unmet needs of biotech customers in delivering high-dose volume therapies wherever the patients are.  The ReadyToGo wearable injectors are supplied to the patient prefilled with the drug and ready-for-injection with no extra steps or parts required. Only three simple steps are required to inject the dose: peel, stick, click, with an on-body safety interlock, a Flexwear™ comfort catheter and an electronic user interface among an array of features that maximize patient comfort and awareness during all stages of use. The devices are designed to minimize disruption to a patient’s normal daily lifestyle during the period of dose delivery.

The ReadyToGo wearable injectors are designed for integration with standard filling processes, utilize standard materials in the primary drug container and require no terminal sterilization. A fully programmable delivery regimen allows the bolus, basal or variable rate of dose delivery to be customized to specific customer, therapy and patient requirements. The electronics in the device can be easily detached and disposed for markets that require special electronics disposal procedures.
