Article on Coring and Fragmentation of Elastomeric Needle Shield in a Pre-Filled Syringe May 2025

June 24, 2025

Veryst and colleagues from Merck & Co Inc. recently published a paper on "Coring and Fragmentation of Elastomeric Needle Shield in a Pre-Filled Syringe" in the PDA Journal of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology. The team used a combined experimental- and simulation-based approach to develop models of needles inserted into rubber stoppers to predict elastomer fragments in the needles.
