En 1947 la compañía RP Scherer Corp. de Detroit diseñó y puso en el mercado un instrumento llamado "hypospray" que se utilizaba para vacunaciones masivas sin el uso de agujas y sin la necesidad de las esterilizaciones repetidas #HistoriaMedicina #vaccineswork
Con la manivela se cargaba un pistón interno y luego pulsando el botón trasero negro se "disparaba" la vacuna o el medicamento. El cargador era de 55 dosis y podía inyectar 1200 en una hora
En su lanzamiento en 1947 salió a la venta por 2000$ (precio altísimo) y pocos médicos la adquirieron, con lo que su principal uso era en la Armada. Se le llamó "la pistola de la paz"
Como curiosidad decir que inspiró las pistolas de medicamentos de la saga Star Trek que también se llamaban "hypospray"
