Needle-less EPI Pen

They finally came out with the Needleless Epi pen. I wonder how long before EMS starts using this.

Doctor’s hope this alternative will save more lives.

I was reading about this a few months ago.

This is a game changer outside EMS, not sure how big of a deal it will be with EMS providers.

When teaching epi pen use to non-providers we practice with the Epi Pen, AUVI-q, and the generic injectors.

I thought the AUVI-q would be a game changer, but people seem most comfortable with the brand name Epi Pens.

Gonna guess EpiPens will magically become more affordable....

I worry the inconsistent absorption will create issues. When MAD devices came out we all thought they'd be the answer to everything, but we quickly found them to be less useful than we thought.

They're not useless, but in a time critical event like anaphylaxis, shove a needle in me please.
