Parents Invent ‘EpiShell' to Preserve EpiPens in Different Temperatures

At $600 for two, no one wants to have to throw away their EpiPens because they got left in the car or elsewhere. The manufacturer says they should be kept at room temperature, so that’s why a Seattle mom and dad decided to create something that could allow an active lifestyle without the worry. “When we go outside with her son, when we are camping, when we are skiing, I want to know that his EpiPen is going to work,” said Sandy Wengreen, inventor of the EpiShell, a patented case that protects EpiPens from hot and cold temperatures so anyone can take their EpiPen on the go – even if it’s colder than 59 degrees or hotter than 86 degrees.
