Zalviso is an innovative, pre-programmed, non-invasive, handheld system that allows adult hospital patients with acute moderate to severe post-operative pain to self-dose with sufentanil sublingual tablets to manage their pain. The dispenser was designed to allow for convenient sublingual application of sufentanil, while the controller is kept plain and simple to ensure intuitive and easy usage by patients.
Statement by the Jury
The minimalist design of the Zalviso application system makes it highly intuitive to use. The ergonomically shaped mouthpiece simplifies administration of the tablets.
