About

Pacto Medical creates innovative medical devices and supplies that address overlooked and complex medical logistics and healthcare challenges. Through their products, they seek to expand access to healthcare, reduce environmental impacts, save costs, and improve the well-being of communities.

Their flagship product is the Slimshot syringe – a compact and resource-saving prefilled syringe design for use across the healthcare industry and beyond. Though prefilled syringes provide many benefits - including safety, precision, speed, and convenience - switching away from vials and empty syringes to prefilled syringes has led to fewer syringes fitting on pallets than before. This is because prefilled syringes come with their plungers almost fully extended. This wastes significant space during sterilization, shipping, storage, and distribution.

Slimshot is a novel compact syringe design with an up to 40% smaller packaging footprint relative to traditional prefilled syringes for the same volume of medication. Slimshot saves costs during packaging and throughout the supply chain, reduces environmental impact and waste, and helps increase access to the safety and quality benefits of prefilled syringes.
