Twinject Review
From Rick Curtis at Outdoor Ed.com
According to medical students 35% of patients may experience anaphylactic reactions requiring more than 1 dose of epinephrine. In the past the only product available has been the Epi-pen manufactured by Dey Pharmacuetical. The Dey Product is a one-dose unit which means that a second unit would need to be available to give a second dose.
The Twinject product is a unique departure from the Epi-pen in that it has two doses in each injector. The first dose is given with an autoinjecting needle similar to the Epi-pen. Removal of a cap allows for a second dose to be administered manuallt. Since 36% of patients who end up receiving epinephrine for anaphylaxis require a second dose the Twinject offers significant advantages over the Epi-pen. The Twinject is available in both adult (0.3 mg Epinephrine) and child (0.15 mg Epinephrine) units. With a retail cost comparable to Epi-pen. Programs who carry multiple doses will see considerable cost savings for first aid kit purchases.
