Anapen Training Device
The Anapen Training Device is a non-medicated training tool designed to help individuals, families, carers, schools, and workplaces practice the correct use of the Anapen adrenaline auto-injector. It contains no needle and no medication, making it safe for repeated practice to build confidence in administering adrenaline during an emergency allergic reaction (anaphylaxis).
This reusable trainer replicates the look, feel, and activation method of a real Anapen, ensuring that users can learn how to handle the device correctly, recognise its safety features, and understand the steps to deliver adrenaline quickly and effectively when needed.
The Anapen Training Device is an essential resource for those prescribed an Anapen, as well as for schools, first-aid trainers, and community organisations seeking to improve preparedness for anaphylaxis emergencies.
