S A TEENAGER HELPING TO CARE FOR HIS DIABETIC GRANDFATHER, BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING ALUMNUS BIEN GUTIERREZ LEARNED FIRSTHAND THAT THE SYRINGES USED TO ADMINISTER INSULIN COULD BE MORE USER-FRIENDLY.

The company’s unique design allows syringe users to ensure proper dosing, purge air bubbles and prime injections more easily than by using traditional syringes.
