Oval Medical Technologies, a Cambridge UK developer of medical devices and technology, has won praise from allergy sufferers and medical professionals for progress in its planned delivery of a compact, portable, easy-to-use adrenaline auto-injector.
In an independent study commissioned by the company, all 21 allergy sufferers taking part used the device successfully without training. Seventeen participants said Oval’s compact size was a major advantage, while 19 preferred it to three other auto-injectors available in the market. Portability was a major factor. Many patients preferred Oval as, being much smaller than the market leader, it could fit it in their bag or pocket.
