Automatic Hypodermic Injection Apparatus
notes: label: Description
content: The Ped-O-Jet injection apparatus used high pressure, rather than a hypodermic needle, to place a dose of serum under the skin. Aaron Ismach (1920-2007), head of the U.S. Army Medical Equipment Laboratory, held the basic patent. The Scientific Equipment Manufacturing Corporation introduced the term Ped-O-Jet to commerce, applied for a trademark, and began manufacturing the device in 1968.
