Anaphylaxis & Asthma Products

I really like your products. I think they are well thought, designed, and constructed.

Mikiko Uesugi, USA

Both of our children have life-threatening food allergies. We purchased two insulated twin holders four years ago when my oldest daughter was going off to summer day camp. We wanted an epi-pen holder that would help preserve the medication in the pen in daily temperatures of 85-95+ degrees - the Activeaide epi-pen holders have worked and held up as promised. Going into our fourth summer of camp, the original packs still look great and the velcro closure is still strong after hundreds of open/close cycles. We just purchased an additional twin holder as a "spare" and one for a family member, whom also has food allergies. Thanks for making a great product!
