YpsoMate – the 2-step autoinjector
The YpsoMate autoinjector is an automated disposable injection device for 1 mL long pre-filled glass or polymer syringes suitable for all patient groups. The device is triggered by push-on-skin activation which is convenient, ergonomic and preferred by patients.
- Push-on-skin release for most simple and ergonomic handling
- Clear confirmation “clicks” and large viewing window for optimum patient confidence and control
- Slim, short and pleasing design provides distinct differentiation for your drug
- Individual designs for different target patient groups
- Proven platform product for low risk and short time to market
- Compatible with SmartPilot to upgrade into a fully connected device

Design and customisation Your drug deserves a unique presentation
The design can be customised for individual dosing requirements or modified to accommodate alternative syringes e.g. 2.25 mL.
The illustrations show some of the possibilities to vary shape and colors based on the defined limits of the manufacturing equipment. If specific patient groups or demand for differentiation in a specific market calls for a completely new outer shape, Ypsomed is in a position to offer a new device version with custom design that still relies on proven platform technology.
YpsoMate Design utilises an outer shell structure that allows freedom to generate a unique, pleasing and ergonomically optimised shape. In addition it is possible to use different surface materials or structures to improve the grip and to emphasise how to hold and use the device.
Customisation and manufacturing
- Configuration capabilities for different fill volumes and viscosities allow the use of the platform for multiple projects
- Simple end-assembly process and technical support from Ypsomed assure low cost of goods
- Compatible with glass and polymer syringes from all major manufacturers
