H&T Presspart

H&T Presspart is a world leader and specialist in manufacturing respiratory drug-delivery systems and pharmaceutical components. The solutions we offer our pharmaceutical clients include metered-dose inhaler (MDI) canisters and components, and a comprehensive range of dose-counting technologies.

We manufacture components for over 75% of the world’s MDI’s, including MDI canisters and MDI actuators. We also offer a number of other components and devices including a range of MDI dose counting and dose indicating solutions.

Our mechanical dose by dose counting system – a licensed design from 3M – is suitable for any generic or new chemical entity development and compatible with all marketed pressurised MDI valves.

We also offer our off-the-shelf Quantum ® dose indicator is the very first on-can metered-dose inhaler end-of-life solution, ensuring patients don’t run out of their medication. It’s cost-effective, disposable, and simple to use – and, as it includes no mechanical parts, it’s extremely reliable.

H&T Presspart in partnership with Cohero Health have developed the first market-ready, fully embedded and connected metered-dose inhaler (eMDITM).

The eMDITM improves patients’ adherence to medication doses, encourages self-care, and helps health professionals maintain real-time monitoring. The device integrates with Cohero Health’s BreatheSmartTM, the only respiratory disease management platform that enables tracking of both controller and rescue medications, and measures lung function with clinical accuracy. It then transfers the data wirelessly to a smart phone app, or directly into a patient’s medical records.

In developing markets, where demand for respiratory treatments is growing rapidly, there’s an increasing need to offer more choice to patients who use a dry powder inhaler (DPI).

Our PowdAir Plus is a patented capsule-based DPI, ideal for these markets because of its advanced simplicity, ease of use and affordability.

Most other DPIs have been designed for developed markets and incorporate multiple components and complex mechanics. In contrast, PowdAir Plus is a complete unit with no metal or separate parts. Neat and compact, its novel all-plastic, four-component design minimises manufacturing assembly and production costs, while improving the device’s resilience to frequent use

 

H&T Presspart offers more than 45 years’ experience of meeting the needs of the world’s leading pharma companies. During that time we’ve developed a strong reputation for precision and reliability, critically important when patients’ quality of life can depend on the tiniest of details, both in the medication and its delivery system. Our extensive skills and experience as medical device manufacturers cover every aspect of deep-drawn manufacturing and injection moulding for the pharmaceutical industry.

As healthcare and pharmaceutical knowledge and understanding continue to evolve, so do we. We focus on industry-leading innovations, continually pushing the boundaries to find technologies that will improve drug delivery performance for our customers and their patients. You can use our advice, support and experience to help you make the best decisions early in the product and device development process.
