The 3M Drug Delivery Systems Difference

As we develop new products with our partners, we can leverage company-wide resources and draw upon more than 100 years of time-tested 3M technologies, including experience in films, adhesives, hardware design, coatings, processes and manufacturing.

3M has been a leader in drug delivery for more than 50 years. Our department expertise includes toxicology, regulatory, manufacturing, quality assurance and operations.

From the introduction of our very first – and the world’s first – metered dose inhaler, 3M has been dedicated to providing high-quality drug delivery systems that set the standard.

Through this depth of resources, experience and commitment, we can provide pharmaceutical and biotech companies with differentiated products, speed to market and increased probability of technical and commercial success. That’s why more than 50% of all metered-dose inhalers worldwide and 80% of all transdermal systems in the U.S. utilize 3M drug delivery technology.

We understand partners may be looking for different delivery options or looking to enhance delivery characteristics that improve drug performance and/or patient compliance. 3M is prepared to rapidly assess every potential partner’s drug delivery needs and determine whether our technology is a fit through a no obligation, complimentary feasibility study.
