Our first-ever livestream event is almost here! Join us on August 29th for an exclusive sneak peek into our New Hampshire facility and hear from Conor Cullinane, PhD about the exciting milestones ahead.
Pirouette Medical has come a long way from our first designs to our groundbreaking auto-injector today, driven by our team’s commitment to enhancing patient care. I am so proud of all that we have accomplished - let’s take a look back!
💡The Initial Concept: Pirouette began with a powerful idea: make life-saving injections as easy as pushing a button. Our early prototype was a compact, portable, disk-like shape to simplify administration.
🤝Adding User Guidance: We added clear instructions with the goal of ensuring anyone could administer an injection correctly on the first try, improving success rates and safety.
⚙️Refining the Design: We made the device even more user-friendly with detailed instructions and brighter colors.
📍Pirouette Today: Today, Pirouette features top-mounted instructions and intuitive operation. Our team continues to push boundaries in drug delivery technology.
💸In case you missed it, we’re raising on Wefunder.

“The biggest learning for me and the biggest excitement with the community round is every time somebody invests, there's a little box where they get to put in information about why they're investing. Some folks don't say anything, but a lot of them do. It's been so rewarding for me to read through those comments and just hear the stories about family members and loved ones who see how they could use our technology.”
Meet Conor Cullinane, PhD, an aeronautical engineer by training who went from designing NASA space suits to developing novel #medicaldevices.
Conor has an impressive resume that includes Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration. He, along with two other rocket scientists, co-founded Pirouette Medical, a startup developing Quicpush, a disk-shaped autoinjector that delivers medicines with just the push of a button.
Here’s a sneak peek into Conor’s conversation with Scott Nelson:
📐 Be selective with where you innovate. Disrupt where it matters most, but don't reinvent the wheel unnecessarily. By aligning with established practices and industry standards, you can streamline your development processes, reduce costs, and ultimately leave room for creative freedom where it counts.
🔄 Although less common in medtech, community fundraising rounds may offer benefits like brand awareness and direct engagement with potential end users. View all investors as valued partners to foster a strong community and feedback loop around your product.
👓 Everyone in the healthcare supply chain, from payers to providers, needs a reason to choose your product. To successfully launch a #medicaldevice, it's crucial to understand the needs of all stakeholders.

It’s an exciting time here at Pirouette HQ! We just received a Notice of Award from the NIH – they have awarded us an administrative supplement of $97K+ to expand the scope of our Phase I award! 💸🔬
The Phase I award has been crucial in affirming the technical merit and commercial potential of our Naloxone HCl auto-injector. With this expanding scope, we can accelerate our progress toward FDA approval and commercialization, bringing us closer to saving lives. 🙌
