About the Team

Pacto Medical was founded in 2023 to solve problems that Ian Speers experienced as a medical logistician and EMT in low-resource settings, where he witnessed firsthand the critical importance of having the right medical supplies at the right place, time, price, and quantity.

The founders combined their diverse expertise in public health, human-centered design, mechanical engineering, and medical logistics to create practical solutions that make drug delivery safer and more affordable.

Their first innovation is a patented prefilled syringe technology that reduces packaging volume by up to 40%, dramatically lowering supply chain costs while maintaining the highest standards of safety and precision in medication delivery.

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.
