Abstract

A housing for hypodermic device including a housing assembly, a hypodermic device housed therein, twist off top and bottom caps. The housing assembly includes an upper and lower ends, exterior and interior walls. The exterior and interior walls definine a vacuum sealed in-between space, and the interior wall defines an interior cavity. The top and bottom caps include first and second tabs, respectively. The hypodermic device has proximal and distal ends. The hypodermic device includes auto injectors such as epinephrine auto injector, insulin auto injector or similar. The exterior and interior walls are vacuum sealed layers made of a rigid material that protect the hypodermic device from impact and accidental activation and keep the hypodermic device at a range of temperature for a longer period of time. A ring attachment is adjacent to the upper end, and it secures to backpacks, purses, garments or similar.
