In an Oct. 22, 2019 press release, Phillips-Medisize, a Molex company, revealed its agreement with a biotechnology company to manufacture a wearable electronic-enabled combination product.

The combination drug product is currently in post-Phase III development. The wearable drug-device combination product is approximately the size of a hockey puck and is either adhered to the patient using an adhesive patch or is worn near the infusion site.

We have experience in manufacturing both combination and electronic-enabled drug delivery devices, and this is our first product submitted for FDA approval that includes both,” said Matt Jennings, CEO and president, Phillips-Medisize, in the press release.
