Article on Coring and Fragmentation of Elastomeric Needle Shield in a Pre-Filled Syringe May 2025

June 24, 2025
Veryst and colleagues from Merck & Co Inc. recently published a paper on "Coring and Fragmentation of Elastomeric Needle Shield in a Pre-Filled Syringe" in the PDA Journal of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology. The team used a combined experimental- and simulation-based approach to develop models of needles inserted into rubber stoppers to predict elastomer fragments in the needles.

Article in R&D Magazine features Veryst

Dr. Jorgen Bergstrom was featured in an R&D Magazine article titled “The Indispensable Biomaterial.” Silicone elastomers have grown in importance to the medical device industry, yet their design is particularly challenging given their physical complexity. Dr. Bergstrom discusses how nonlinear finite element analysis and advanced material are facilitating the design process.

Publication: Veryst develops advanced constitutive model for UHMWPE

Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is used extensively in biomedical devices due to its mechanical properties, including high impact and wear resistance. Veryst developed an advanced thermomechanical constitutive model for UHWMPE where the microstructure of the material is represented using three structural domains that capture the experimentally-observed, nonlinear, time- and temperature-dependent response at small and large strains.
