As the world leader in the development and manufacture of auto-injector drug delivery systems for the emergency treatment of casualties, Meridian has served as a critical supplier for nearly 50 years to the US Department of Defense. Today, we are building on those years of experience to produce the highest quality auto-injector products that deliver antidotes for chemical nerve agents, which may be lethal in seconds.
Unlike a traditional syringe, which can be cumbersome and time-consuming, auto-injectors provide a compact and portable delivery system to meet the demanding operational needs of emergency responders.

DuoDote™, which
has
replaced the Mark I™ Kit, delivers the same medications and has the same safety profile as the Mark I™ Kit, but with only 1 injection.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION: Primary protection against exposure to chemical nerve agents and insecticide poisoning is the wearing of protective garments including masks designed specifically for this use. Individuals should not rely solely upon antidotes such as atropine and pralidoxime to provide complete protection from chemical nerve agents and insecticide poisoning. Seek immediate medical attention after injection with antidotes.
