y, the prefilled syringe, which is available for use with Cimzia(R), is designed with the following in mind:

  • Easy to grip wide flange (finger grips) - soft, non-slip grip allows patients to hold the syringe steady using various grip positions.
  • Easy to remove needle cover - rounded finger loop for easy removal of needle cover; flared needle cap designed to reduce needle pricks due to recoil.
  • Easy to push syringe plunger - large and soft thumb pad for patients to push the plunger.
  • Easy to read syringe barrel - magnified barrel helps ensure patients receive entire dose as they can see the medicine inside and know when they have injected all of it.
  • Easy to grip elliptical barrel - elliptical barrel for patients to grip and helps prevent slippage during patient handling.
  • Easy to open packaging - the cover with a rounded corner uses Velcro(R) for easy opening and resealing; large, easy-to-read directions and clear visuals instruct patients how to use the pack and administer/inject Cimzia(R); and lastly, the plastic housing inside with a large finger recess allows patients to easily remove the syringe.
