Implantable drug delivery systems offer controlled, long-acting, and site-specific release of active pharmaceutical ingredients — providing therapeutic benefits across oncology, pain management, contraception, ophthalmology, and more. Due to the technical complexity and strict regulatory requirements, successful development depends on working with experienced implants CDMO companies.
With expertise in formulation, device integration, and aseptic production, specialized implants contract manufacturing partners help pharmaceutical and medtech innovators bring safe, effective, and scalable implantable products to market.
When selecting among implants CDMO companies, key evaluation points include:
Material expertise: Biodegradable polymers (e.g., PLGA, PLA), silicones, and titanium-based systems
Manufacturing technologies: Extrusion, compression molding, hot melt, injection molding, and 3D printing
Combination product capabilities: Integration of drug and device elements
Sterilization experience: E-beam, gamma, or aseptic processing
Regulatory compliance: Familiarity with FDA, EMA, MDR, and ISO 13485 standards
Support for complex filing types: IND/NDA, IDE/PMA, 505(b)(2), or medical device pathways
A qualified CDMO ensures implant safety, reliability, and long-term performance.
Full-service implants contract manufacturing providers typically offer:
Formulation development for long-acting and biodegradable implants
Device prototyping and scale-up using custom tooling and 3D printing
Aseptic and terminal sterilization compatible with sensitive APIs
Combination product development (drug + device) under QMS
In vitro release testing and stability studies
Container closure and packaging design for implant kits or single-use systems
Regulatory support for drug-device submissions
GMP manufacturing for clinical and commercial scale
These services support innovation while ensuring the safety and consistency of complex implantable systems.
Working with top-tier implants CDMO companies offers key advantages:
Controlled, site-specific drug delivery for improved therapeutic outcomes
Extended-release profiles reduce dosing frequency and improve adherence
Integrated device and drug development to accelerate timelines
Regulatory clarity with combination product experience
Flexible manufacturing options from early development through market launch
The right CDMO minimizes technical and regulatory risks across the product lifecycle.
