Medical Design Excellence Award 2008

Warwick Design Consultants is pleased to announce the Veramyst intranasal device designed for GlaxoSmithKline has been awarded the Finished Packaging Category.  The intranasal device had received FDA approval, first pass, and was available in the US from May 2007.

The device provides an attractive and easy to use delivery system. Warwick Design developed the device from a clean sheet of paper and its apparent simplicity has been achieved by the intelligent design of its components. This includes design for moulding and assembly that ensures the reliable manufacture of tens of millions of this world class delivery device.

Working with GSK’s World-wide Device Technology Group and manufacturers Tech Group Ireland with a "virtual company" approach, Warwick Design’s know-how and high quality data ensured delivery of the project in previously unmatched timescales bringing on-stream revenues twelve months ahead of like developments.

The Veramyst delivery device is a unique, ergonomically designed device that was developed by Warwick Design to address patient concerns. Veramyst has a side-actuated "mist release" button that, when pressed, delivers the same amount of medicine every time - an important feature for patients who want to know they are getting a consistent, prescribed, dose. The device delivers a gentle, scent-free mist with a low volume of spray.

The combination of a very effective medication and a reliable, easily used and attractive device is seen on Wall Street as a "billion dollar" product.
