When it comes to auto-injectors for severe allergies, the EpiPen has been the go-to product for decades. Windgap Medical is doing its part to commercialize an alternative system that compensates for some of the inconveniences that come with the need to carry around a bulky EpiPen.
An additional issue with the EpiPen that Windgap is addressing is the user-friendly/safety aspect of injection. Because of the way an EpiPen is designed, people often mistake where the needle is coming out and instead of injecting their leg, they mistake the needle end for a button and inject their thumb during administration. Windgap is also handling the thermal stability issues that come with the EpiPen with its device.
