One unique aspect of the Personal Injector is that it is designed for the user - by a user. Michael Perthu came up with the idea for the Personal Injector, when he developed Multiple Sclerosis and was obliged to administer injections himself.

Still more people contract diseases whose treatment requires delivery of drugs by injection - either intramuscular or subcutaneous.
It is a stressful procedure for the patients to inject daily or weekly and knowing that this procedure will continue the rest of their life.
Union Medico has developed the Personal Injector device in order to improve the quality of life for all patients who inject medicine.
Personal Injector enables the drug to be injected slowly, virtually eliminating the physical discomfort of injection.
The vision with the Personal Injector has been to create a functional and appealing product. A product which clearly signals an invitation to the user.
Personal Injector is designed as an attractive tool with which the user quickly becomes familiar. The Injector minimizes the patient's fear of needles and substantially reduces the pain otherwise associated with managing injections.

Throughout the world, it is increasingly common to let patients enter outpatient treatment programmes. This implies that they have to manage the injections themselves. The advantages with this kind of treatment is numerous; it is more economical and it allows the patient more personal freedom.

Up until now, the existing injector devices on the market have all had several functional disadvantages and their design not been based on the specific needs of the user.
In these designs the needle and medication are delivered simultaneously, a fact which can cause distress from the actual injection with subsequently discoloured skin.
The functionality and design of these products does not consider the quality of life and physical well being of the patient. A given fact, making the personal freedom a little harder to enjoy.
