Cost effective
The small overall number of actuator components and the use of a standard spring for the power source mean that production costs are minimized. The Glide actuator and drug cassette can easily be manufactured on a large scale at reasonable cost.
Product differentiation
The Glide technology enables a pharmaceutical product to be differentiated from competitive products and therefore offers the potential for an increased market share with many applications.
Product life cycle management
Incorporating a marketed product in a new drug delivery system allows the life cycle of the pharmaceutical product to be actively managed and extended.
Patent extensions
Association of a pharmaceutical product with a new drug delivery technology allows the opportunity for patent extensions on proprietary compounds that may be close to generic competition.
