This product is specifically designed for researchers on scientific expeditions in deep mountainous regions and for personnel working long-term in environments inhabited by venomous snakes. It aims to address critical emergencies such as the short "golden hour" for treatment and the scarcity of medical resources following a snakebite. The device integrates three core functions—antivenom storage, automatic injection, and recovery status visualization—to provide efficient and safe on-site emergency support.

The device has three built-in, independently temperature-controlled compartments pre-loaded with antivenoms for cytotoxins, neurotoxins, and hemotoxins. Users can swap modules via the rear vacuum port to adapt to regional snake species. Vacuum insulation and a UV-blocking glass lid maintain internal temperatures between 0°C and 18°C, meeting storage standards and extending shelf life.

The injection system is simple to operate: open the protective bottom cover, remove the sterile needle, and after inserting it into a vein, press the injection button corresponding to the required antivenom type. This administers a precise dose, ensuring that effective treatment is delivered in the shortest possible time.

The innovative recovery status visualization module provides real-time feedback on the victim's condition via a lighting system. A circular light strip on the device's outer ring and three racetrack-shaped indicators on the injection buttons will change color over time as the victim's condition improves, shifting from an initial "Danger" red, to a "Warning" yellow, and finally to a "Safe" green. This design not only helps to alleviate the psychological panic experienced by the victim but also enables rescue personnel to identify the victim's location from a distance in dense jungle environments, thereby enhancing search and rescue efficiency.

This device effectively addresses three critical challenges encountered in the wild: the difficulty of preserving antivenom, the risk of delayed injection, and the ambiguity in assessing a victim's condition. It stands as a reliable, life-saving tool for personnel operating in high-risk areas.
