Engineering Controlled Drug Delivery with Silicone Materials

As demand grows for long-acting therapies and implantable drug delivery devices, design engineers face increasing pressure to identify materials that drive device performance. Material selection is critical to achieving consistent elution profiles, maintaining drug stability, and influencing clinical performance.

While silicones have been used safely in implantable devices for decades, their unique advantages as controlled-release platforms deserve closer attention. Silicone attributes including tunable chemistry, biocompatibility, and processing flexibility make them well-suited for sustained and controlled-release applications.

In this webinar, NuSil experts will discuss how attributes of silicone chemistry influence release kinetics, what other formulation variables affect performance, and what factors matter most when designing controlled-release combination products. Using real-world examples, this session will illustrate how material science and device design work together to achieve predictable drug release.
