What is VAX-ID®?
VAX-ID is a CE marked, award-winning patented medical device that allows vaccination and drug delivery in the dermal layer of the skin.
It is suited for standardized, accurate and reliable intradermal injection with a high ease of use.
The device delivers consistent precise performance regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, or BMI.
In regions where CE marking is not recognized, the device is currently available for investigational use only (IUO) and research use only (RUO).
How does VAX-ID work?
VAX-ID is applied perpendicular to the skin by a healthcare professional. Here are some of the key steps on how the device works:
Step 1: Activate
Put the syringe into the VAX-ID adapter.
Activate VAX-ID by removing the safety pin.
Step 2: Position
Place the foot of the VAX-ID on the skin, keeping the adaptor perpendicular to the injection site.
Step 3: Inject
Push the housing down to meet the foot: the needle will penetrate the skin.
Step 4: Dispose
Remove VAX-ID from the skin and deactivate the device by pulling the foot away from the housing and placing the pin back in its original position.
Dispose VAX-ID in the sharps container.

Some of VAX-ID ‘s unique propositions include:
- Accurate
- Easy to use
- Safe, prevents needle-stick injury
