SnapTrainer™
Emergency intranasal medication simulator
In medical emergencies, seconds matter.
SnapTrainer™ builds confidence to intervene with emergency intranasal medications, such as:
epinephrine (neffy®) for anaphylaxis and severe allergic reactions
naloxone (NARCAN®/KLOXXADO®) or nalmefene (OPVEE®) for opioid overdose
diazepam (VALTOCO®) and midazolam (NAYZILAM®) for cluster seizures
Practice Makes Prepared™.
Emergency intranasal medications can be lifesaving, but come in single-use devices that cannot be used for practice.
SnapTrainer is a reusable simulator that enables caregivers and patients to build familiarity and readiness.
SnapTrainer is available with a smooth nozzle for mannequin training and with a finned nozzle for take-home practice.
Avoid dangerous mixups.
The increasing number of emergency intranasal medications creates a new hazard: mix-ups at the worst possible time.
SnapTrainer is pictured with three actual medications and four manufacturer-provided training devices. Could you to tell the difference in an emergency?

Feels similar.
Looks different.
With a patent-pending mechanism, SnapTrainer replicates the break-away resistance found in actual intranasal medication delivery devices.
A distinctive appearance reduces the risk of mix-ups in emergencies and discourages nasal insertion.
Distinctive yet customizable.
Holder colors can be customized to match institutional colors or awareness campaigns.
Invented by a practicing emergency physician
SnapTrainer is created by V. Ted Liao MD MS FAAEM, a Harvard-trained emergency physician and Stanford-trained engineer.
SnapTrainer’s design has refined by input from pharmacists, EMTs, allergy patients and families, and harm-reduction community organizations through dozens of versions and hundreds of prototypes.
SnapTrainer is designed and manufactured in Cambridge, Massachusetts from American materials. Patents pending.
