Drug Stability + Usability: Speed and Precision in a Single Package
Imagine your drug secured in a pure glass, hermetically sealed package—now, what if that package delivered the speed, accuracy, and convenience of a prefilled syringe? That’s the Ampulis advantage.
AFS: A Revolutionary Leap
Forward
AFS merges the time-tested stability of ampules with the speed and convenience of prefilled syringes. The drug-filled ampule is fully encased in a secondary chamber, and an embedded filter eliminates glass particulate — resulting in unparalleled precision and safety.
Why Ampules Are Still Relevant
Yes, ampules date back to the 1800s, but their enduring appeal is no accident. Some of the benefits of maintaining ampules include:
- Intrinsic closure integrity
- Glass inert to most drugs
- Impermeable to air and moisture
- Compatible with sterilization
- Durable, tamper-proof design
- Transparent for easy drug inspection
- Cost-effective
- Extensive manufacturing supply chain
But What If Ampules Had the Usability
of Prefilled Syringes?
How AFS Works: Simple. Fast. Familiar.
Accessing and delivering the drug with AFS is straightforward and quick.
Here’s how:
STEP 1 – SNAP
Secure, simple activation.
STEP 2 – DRAW
Fast, reliable draw.
STEP 3 – PRIME
Ensure the device is ready in seconds.
STEP 4 – INJECT
Deliver with speed and precision.
