Title:
Development of IMSAFE, an Intramuscular Autoinjector to Control Bleeding

Description:
This project aims to develop a smaller, intramuscular autoinjector capable of delivering a concentrated formulation of tranexamic acid (TXA), a widely used antifibrinolytic for treating hemorrhage. The Firm’s current prototype can deliver up to 5 mL; however, user feedback from military and emergency responders indicates a strong preference for a more compact device. By formulating TXA at higher concentrations, the Firm has reduced the required injection volume to 2–3 mL. This enables the design of a smaller, more field-appropriate autoinjector without compromising therapeutic efficacy.
