STUTTGART, Germany, February 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Haselmeier has not even officially presented its latest innovation and the D-Flex. Just one. has already won an award: The especially flexible disposable pen D-Flex has been given the GOOD DESIGN™ Award. However, the D-Flex stands out in the market primarily thanks to its uniqueness. No comparable product can be deployed so flexibly and at the same time deliver patient safety.

The D-Flex is the disposable pen for the use with 3 ml cartridges. It closes the gap between fixed-dose pens which only allow a single fixed dose, and variable-dose pens where the dose can be finely adjusted by the patient. The D-Flex can therefore be configured for several fixed doses. These dose values can essentially be freely selected when assembling the pen. The pen system does not permit any in-between amounts aside from the set doses, i.e. the patient cannot select an unintentional dose by mistake. This significantly reduces the risk of any operating error and increases the safety of the patient.
This makes the D-Flex the ideal, flexible platform for adapting to set doses in accordance with the therapy. This platform can be flexibly configured to suit the desired dose values, from the first clinical study to series production, thereby significantly reducing the "time to market" and "CAPEX."
The benefit for patients and the advantages for Haselmeier customers are comprehensive:
The D-Flex product platform made of high-performance plastic will in future be available in the three colours, red, blue and green.
Details of the award
