This delivery system would benefit children as well as the elderly. It will be especially useful for clients who need to give injections to themselves.

Pediatrician, Mexico

Parents

“Looks fantastic, can see many applications for this. Would have been very beneficial for routine vaccinations, flu shots, etc.” Mother of young children, Registered Nurse (RN) BC, Canada
“As a mother of an Autistic child and a front line worker at an Assisted-Living Facility, I have experienced firsthand,the trauma experienced by both my child and patients suffering from Dementia when being administered aninjection. I have spent over 2 hours at a clinic while attempting to have 3 vaccinations given to my child, and atwork in my role as caregiver, I find myself having to spend extra time trying to calm down a resident – before andafter the injection. I can see where the use of this device would ease the fear of getting “a shot” and the danger ofneedle-stick injuries to both the caregiver or patient - and also the inherent danger of broken needles” Mum,, RCA, BC, Canada
“Excellent, as someone who is terrified of needles, I feel this is a great idea.” Mum, BC, Canada

“Having had children with fears of needles I see great advantage to having a device like this. Now they are grown and their fears continue!! As a mother and grandmother I see great value in having an alternative device to administer medications. Working in an industry that provides services to children with special needs, I see great value in this product as well. Mum, BC, Canada
