Systems

When you partner with 3M Drug Delivery Systems, we develop a customized plan that meets your requirements for a technically and commercially viable product for global marketing. We've developed a New Product Introduction (NPI) process to help bring your product to market with low technical risk, in a timely, cost-effective manner. Lean Six Sigma methodology helps drive improvements while further reducing timelines.

3M offers a free of charge, no obligation paper feasibility service, which explores the likelihood of success of your candidate molecules being delivered by inhalation and nasal drug delivery. This offer is open to new chemical entities (NCE) or existing molecules (for life cycle management options). Contact us for more information.

Ability to leverage 3M corporate technologies to solve formulation challenges
3M promotes a culture of innovation. We are continuously developing new technologies and adapting existing technologies from across the 3M community to modify or design components. This includes 3M computer modeling expertise to help develop ground breaking fluid dynamics for valve design and 3M coating technologies for guidance in producing coatings currently used in IDD components. Each strives to meet the unique needs of our partner companies.

We support partners with our extensive experience in regulatory affairs. Products developed by 3M have received regulatory approval around the world, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. All work is in compliance with applicable global regulatory guidelines, and we have received registrations in 60 countries.
