Redesigning the developing market
Zydus Cadila
Personal inhaler
IDC understands that constant innovation is needed in order to lower production costs but still be able to add value to the product. Zydus Cadila - one of India’s major pharmaceutical and Health Care Companies – required an asthma pump, which could be manufactured at a lower cost but be redesigned for an improved look and feel. The main goal of the project was to create a product that was different, cost-effective, and that complied with all the necessary standards for inhalers.
Working to achieve the clients exact needs, IDC improved the appearance of the inhaler by redesigning the traditional look, which also made it ergonomic and easy to use. We integrated an onboard storage compartment in order to store the multi medicinal capsules. The inhaler was also designed to be intuitive and easy to use.
The goal of making the inhaler a lower cost but high quality product was achieved by our low-tech but high quality design and material. By performing a CFD flows analysis we were able to find a solution for using capsules as apposed to canisters, which also made the inhaler more cost effective.
The inhaler has helped millions of people in developing countries by providing them with an effective and economical asthma inhaler. IDC strive to take these types of projects and produce a world-class solution, catering to any needs the client may have.
