Design and customization Your drug deserves a unique presentation

The illustrations show some of the possibilities to vary shape and colors based on the defined limits of the manufacturing equipment. If specific patient groups or demand for differentiation in a specific market calls for a completely new outer shape, Ypsomed is in a position to offer a new device version with custom design that still relies on proven platform technology.

YpsoMate Design utilizes an outer shell structure that allows freedom to generate a unique, pleasing and ergonomically optimized shape. In addition it is possible to use different surface materials or structures to improve the grip and to emphasize how to hold and use the device.
