OctoPlus is a product-oriented drug delivery company focused on the development of improved pharmaceutical products with less side effects, increased patient compliance and better efficacy. Since our inception in 1995, we have established a successful track record and maintain partnerships with large and small biotech and pharma companies throughout the world.

OctoDEX®: a dextran-based microsphere delivery technology for proteins and particulate systems.
PolyActive®: a biodegradable polymeric drug delivery system for the controlled release of proteins and lipophilic small molecules.
SynBiosys™: a biodegradable polymeric drug delivery system for the controlled release of peptides and small molecules (in collaboration with Innocore BV).
