Carabiner Allergy Injectors

'Epi-Inject' by Maria Pitallano is the Latest Non-Stab Clip-on EpiPen

— July 15, 2011 — Unique
The Epi-Inject pen, created by Maria Pitallano, is the world's first non stabbing EpiPen. Severe allergies are quite common and the difference between having and not having an EpiPen can be a life or death situation. These easy clip on EpiPens are not only great to have because of the carabiner but because of its no-fuss, no-jab spring-loaded button that deploys the injector. The Personal EpiPen is only 3" x 2" and it can go around with you whenever and wherever you want, it can fit in your pocket, or attach to pants, a bag or attach unto anything so that you always have it with you.

Maria Pitallano has also designed a public Epi-Inject, and these would be installed at restaurants, schools, parks and other. The design was specifically made, so that a stranger unfamiliar with administering the needle would easily be able to.
Trend Themes
1. Non-stab Epipens - The Epi-Inject pen by Maria Pitallano offers a non-stab alternative to traditional EpiPens, providing a safer and more accessible option for people with severe allergies.
2. Clip-on Epipens - The Epi-Inject pen features a convenient carabiner attachment, making it easier for individuals to carry their EpiPens with them at all times, reducing the risk of allergic reactions.
3. Public Epi-inject Stations - The design of public Epi-Inject stations allows for easy access to life-saving medication in public places, ensuring that anyone, even those unfamiliar with administering a needle, can address an allergic emergency.
Industry Implications
1. Pharmaceuticals - The pharmaceutical industry can explore the development and manufacturing of non-stab EpiPens to meet the growing demand for safer and more user-friendly allergy medication.
2. Healthcare - The healthcare industry can adopt clip-on EpiPens to improve patient safety and compliance, as well as collaborate with designers to create public Epi-Inject stations in high-risk areas.
3. Design - The design industry can contribute to the innovation of allergy injectors by designing more compact, portable, and user-friendly devices like the Epi-Inject, enhancing the overall user experience.
