SenseCore is small, very precise in dosage, and inexpensive to manufacture as it is only made up of two plastic parts. Thanks to its high degree of flexibility, it is compatible with a variety of drugs. It is the key component in a range of pump platforms. Sensile Medical's current product range stands out thanks to its high dosage accuracy, easy handling, and safe drug delivery mechanisms.
