There are over 14 million adults in Sri Lanka and according to recent statistics by the International Diabetes Federation, the prevalence of diabetes among adults in Sri Lanka is 8.7%, or about 1.2 million adults across the country with the disease.

Medical injections are a common health care procedure and the demand for needle-free delivery solutions are increasing to improve safety and drug effectiveness, while reducing medical waste of disposable needles. It also helps reduce fear and anxiety of administering medications and vaccines through hypodermic needles.

NuGen M.D.’s needle-free injection system is the first ever self-administered needle-free injection system approved by Health Canada and gives access to safe, cost-effective drug delivery for the millions of patients who suffer from diabetes or other chronic illnesses.

It is specifically designed for the safety of patients who are required to self-administer their medication as well as health care workers who perform medical injections. The Company’s needle-free injector is not only suitable for administering insulin, vaccines and other treatments for chronic diseases but also for pets requiring medical injections.
