Norwegian multidisciplinary studio ANTI has designed Ventizolve ? a portable naloxone product for emergency use that can temporarily reverse the effects of a lethal opioid overdose to provide time for medical attention.
Contained inside the amorphous, teal case are two doses of naloxone, which is an emergency medication that can temporarily reverse the effects of an overdose of opioids, such as heroin, methadone, opium, codeine or morphine, in under three minutes.

According to Morgan, the Ventizolve formula contains a lower volume of naloxone than others to prevent future overdoses.
"The risk of a high dosage of naloxone in the event of an overdose can result in immediate abstinence with painful results for an opioid addict," he explained. "The resulting risk of a subsequent overdose is therefore higher, and can in fact be a barrier for opioid addicts to carry naloxone," he added.
The Ventizolve product aims to prevent future overdoses
The Ventizolve kit has been launched in the Nordic Region and across Europe. Other designers aiming to prevent opioid deaths include a group of researchers at Purdue University, who developed a wearable device that can detect an opioid overdose and trigger the release of an antidote.
The device comprises a sticker-like sensor on the chest to measure the user's heart rate, and a magnetic-field generator strapped to the arm, as well as a capsule of an antidote drug.
The device is designed to stabilise the user in 10 seconds...
