PenPal® Overview – Complexity Simplified!

Aktiv conceived a unique and differentiated approach, resulting in an extremely simple design architecture, consisting of very low part count and minimal mechanical interfaces between subsystems

  • Enabling, patented  “Direct Drive” technology

  • 6 molded parts and 4 off-the-shelf components

  • Device simplicity leads to superior reliability and versatility unmatched by any autoinjector

  • No other autoinjector can handle the entire range of standard drug containers & dose load

Direct Drive: Unlike any other commercially available autoinjector, PenPal® patented technology applies direct compressed gas pressure to the primary drug container for needle insertion, medication delivery and full needle retraction
