Autoinjectors
Autoinjectors are compact, pre-filled devices used to deliver emergency medication quickly in response to chemical or biological agent exposure. Commonly carried by military personnel, emergency services, and CBRN teams, autoinjectors are designed for rapid intramuscular injection allowing users to self-administer or treat others in high-stress environments. They’re typically used for nerve agent antidotes, pain management, or other life-saving interventions during CBRN incidents.
