Intas Pharmaceuticals Limited (Intas), a major global pharma firm, secured exclusive rights for IntegriMedical's needle-free injection system (N-FIS) to revolutionize IVF & gynaecology in India, prioritizing patient experience through this innovative, needle-free delivery.

Through this agreement, Intas becomes the first and only company in India to offer IVF and gynecology therapies with needle-free injections, setting a new benchmark for patient-centric innovative drug delivery system. The collaboration represents a decisive step in transforming how reproductive care is delivered.

By leveraging IntegriMedical’s proprietary drug-delivery technology, Intas aims to reduce injection-related discomfort and anxiety while enhancing compliance and patient satisfaction. Under the agreement, Intas, in collaboration with IntegriMedical, will streamline deployment of needle-free injections across IVF clinics and gynecology centers nationwide.

India represents one of the fastest-growing IVF markets globally. Reportedly, the current number is around 300,000 to 350,000 cycles per year, with projections suggesting this could increase to 500,000 to 600,000 cycles by 2027. At scale, this results in several million injections administered every year as part of IVF treatment in India alone. By integrating needle-free injection technology into IVF treatment pathways, the collaboration is expected to improve the treatment experience for hundreds of thousands of women annually, particularly by reducing injection-related pain, anxiety, and treatment fatigue.

Commenting on the collaboration, Durga P Satapathy, Executive Vice President, Intas, said, “This initiative is about more than introducing a new technology; it’s about changing how patients experience care. IVF and gynecology treatments can be demanding, and our goal is to make every step easier, more reassuring, and more dignified. Collaborations like this show what’s possible when innovation is truly focused on people. By leading such patient-centric advancements, we are setting a new benchmark for care in the country.”

N-FIS delivers medication through a high-pressure jet stream mechanism in a consistent, predictable, spray-like pattern. Medication is administered through a fine micro-orifice in the skin, enabling effective delivery without the use of needles. Unlike traditional needle-based injections, this approach minimizes tissue trauma, avoids medication pooling, and reduces the risk of cross-contamination.
