SMC’s years of experience in medical device contract manufacturing paired with Oval’s innovative approach to drug delivery combination products creates a complete solution for the pharmaceutical market. In addition to autoinjectors, the Oval team brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in the design, development and manufacturing of inhalation products,” said Chetan N. Patel, President and Founder, SMC Ltd.

“Pharmaceutical companies require reliable customized devices for their high value biologics. As part of SMC, Oval will be well placed to provide customers with devices that meet their needs and those of their patients.

This small innovative, and reliable design is favored by patients who need to carry these potentially lifesaving products at all times,” said Barbara Lead, Chief Executive Officer, Oval Medical Technologies.
