Mixing Station and Syringe Components

Designers: Coleman Product Design Inc.

Client: Immunex Corp.

It's a classic dilemma: A drug to treat rheumatoid arthritis requires manual dexterity to reconstitute, something those with the affliction do not usually have. Design to the rescue: The intuitive functionality and friendly, yet professional aesthetic of an integrated mixing station make the necessary steps simple and foolproof. Users embrace the product and the pharmaceutical company shows a phenomenal 206 percent increase in total product sales.

"This solution balances physical and cognitive limitations with a complementary design that assists patient or caregiver with an expedient and accurate dosing. Features have addressed low vision, reduced strength, tremors and mental limitations. Kudos for exceeding necessary parameters and presenting a laudable example of how design can enhance life's quality and maintain lifelong independence." -Patricia Moore, IDSA, (jury chair) Bresslergroup
