Carrier for medication delivery devices

Abstract

A medication carrier to be worn on the leg, ankle, arm or wrist of an individual is provided. In its preferred embodiment, the carrier comprises a continuous sleeve of stretchable, breathable and washable material with a vertical, column-like pocket constructed on the exterior portion thereof for carrying one or more auto-injectors. Preferably, the column includes a fastener which securely holds the medication, such as an EpiPen auto-injector, in the pocket. Preferably, the carrier includes an elastic portion with a sticky material, such as silicon, inlaying the inner lining of the upper band, at the top of the sleeve to further prevent slippage. Accordingly, when worn by the user, the invention provides a comfortable method of carrying medication, such as an auto-injector.
