InsuJet Distribution Expands Across France
NuGen Medical Devices Launches French InsuJet(TM) e-Commerce Platform, Delivering Needle-Free Insulin with On-Demand Clinical Support Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - July 7, 2025) - NuGen Medical Devices Inc. (TSXV: NGMD) ("NuGen" or the "Company"), a leader in needle-free subcutaneous drug-delivery technology, today unveiled — a dedicated French-language information and e-commerce site for InsuJet™, the Company's needle-free insulin-delivery device. Developed with NuGen's exclusive distributor Sol-Millennium France, the platform gives people living with diabetes in France instant access to product details, educational resources, and secure online purchasing. At checkout, patients may opt for nurse-led onboarding that supports them all the way to seamless enrolment in the recurring consumables program — ensuring confident adoption and lasting adherence. A Growing Market Need According to France's National Health Insurance (Assurance Maladie), diabetes remains a critical — and growing — public-health challenge: in 2022, 4.33 million people were living with diabetes — a prevalence of 6.3 percent. The economic impact is escalating just as quickly: reimbursements tied to diabetes jumped from €7.6 billion in 2015 to more than €10 billion in 2022.1 Complications accounts for a significant share of diabetes-related healthcare costs because most of the 92 % of patients who have type 2 diabetes delay insulin start; 80 % of French physicians blame needle anxiety. By eliminating the needle for France's ~4 million type 2 diabetics, InsuJet™ promotes earlier insulin use and delivers substantial savings to the national health system.2 These figures highlight the urgent need for innovative, cost-effective solutions such as InsuJet's needle-free insulin-delivery technology. About InsuJet™ Designed for adults and children (age 6+), InsuJet™ delivers standard U-100 insulin via a precise high-pressure micro-jet through the nozzle that penetrates the skin without needles. Users experience less anxiety, no sharps-disposal burden, and simpler day-to-day diabetes management. Clinical studies demonstrate faster insulin absorption, tighter glycaemic control, and higher patient satisfaction versus traditional needles - advances that directly address France's call for safer, more economical diabetes care. Key Features: Durability — reusable for up to 5,000 injections (≈ 3.5 years at four injections per day) Universally compatible — works with any U-100 insulin in 3 mL cartridges, prefilled insulin pens, or 10 mL vials Needle-free convenience — eliminates sharps containers and related waste CE marked — compliant with European medical-device standards Broad usability — approved for adults and children aged six and over Adoption and Interest from the Clinical Community: The healthcare community has responded enthusiastically to the introduction of InsuJet™. Officially pre-launched at the 2025 Congress of the Société Francophone du Diabète (SFD) this past April, where it was named Innovation of the Year in Insulin Therapy, InsuJet™ attracted significant clinical interest. Numerous hospitals requested demonstrations, leading to two clinical evaluations at the Institut de Diabétologie et Nutrition du Centre (IDNC). These studies aim to support national reimbursement and further validate the clinical and economic benefits of needle-free insulin delivery.

Its flagship InsuJet™ system is approved in 42 countries and is designed to improve the lives of millions of people with diabetes worldwide.

Hong Kong scientists make breakthrough on needle-free flu jab offering more protection
Hong Kong scientists have made a breakthrough in developing a new flu vaccine that is needle-free and has the potential to induce a more robust immune response against various virus strains. Advertisement The University of Hong Kong's Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine said on Thursday it had developed two novel vaccine approaches, each with its own characteristics and advantages that were expected to be used to create a new flu jab in the future. Professor Leo Poon Lit-man, chair of public health virology, said the long-lasting protective effects of new vaccines may reduce the need to receive yearly jabs, with more research to be done to determine the exact frequency. 'On mice, the protection given by the vaccine was very satisfactory compared with other live-attenuated influenza vaccines and inactivated vaccines,' he said. 'We can also see that the mice had a great immune response against different types of influenza, including human and avian ones. We believe our vaccines are not required to be received every year.' Advertisement Live-attenuated vaccines use a weakened form of the virus that causes a disease. Because these vaccines are so similar to the natural infection that they help prevent, they create a strong and long-lasting immune response, according to health authorities.
