MAHWAH, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KORU Medical Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: KRMD) (“KORU Medical” or the “Company”), a leading medical technology company focused on development, manufacturing, and commercialization of innovative and patient-centric large volume subcutaneous infusion solutions, today announced a collaboration with a global pharmaceutical manufacturer to initiate a feasibility study with KORU’s Freedom Infusion System for an already commercialized rare disease therapy.
Upon successful completion of the feasibility study, KORU Medical intends to develop a customized Freedom System that will deliver this large volume therapy via subcutaneous administration.
