Pirouette is on a mission to revolutionize healthcare accessibility by ushering in the future of injections.
The company makes auto-injectors designed to be approachable and easy to use. Whether a patient is facing an overdose or a child is suffering from severe allergies, Pirouette’s auto injectors are designed to help.
Startup accelerator Y Combinator, along with venture-capital funds Safar Partners, Liquid 2 Ventures, and Gaingels all agree: Pirouette can be a disruptive force in the $600 billion injectable drug-delivery market.
Its injection product is circular in shape, and looks like a regular water-bottle cap. All instructions for a specific medication are displayed on top of the injector. And a safety cap is included to ensure that patients are kept free from accidental sticks.
Notably, patients administering the injection never see the needle. This reduces fears and gives patients confidence to complete the injection. In a study with users who had never used Pirouette’s device, the company recorded a 100% attempt rate and 100% administration success rate.
