Year: 2024

Award: Supply Chain Excellence Awards - USA

Award Name: The Sustainable Supply Chain Award

Company: Pacto Medical, Inc.

Pacto Medical creates innovative medical devices and supplies that address overlooked and complex medical logistics and healthcare challenges.

Through our products, we seek to expand access to healthcare, reduce environmental impacts, save costs, and improve the well-being of communities. Our flagship patent-pending product is the SlimShot syringe – a compact and resource-saving pre-filled syringe for use across the healthcare industry and beyond.

Though pre-filled syringes provide many benefits - including safety, precision, speed, and convenience - switching away from vials and empty syringes to pre-filled syringes has led to fewer syringes fitting on pallets than before.

This is because pre-filled syringes come with their plungers almost fully extended.

This wastes significant space during sterilization, shipping, storage, and distribution.

We have invented a collapsible syringe with a 40% smaller packaging footprint relative to traditional pre-filled syringes.

Our SlimShot syringe design saves costs throughout the supply chain, reduces environmental impact, and brings the safety and quality benefits of pre-filled syringes to more patients around the world.
