Abstract in brief

The study introduces StingReady, a new device designed to make sting challenge tests safer, easier, and more accurate by reducing the need for complex insect handling during venom immunotherapy (VIT) assessments.
StingReady was successfully used to capture and transport hornets to the hospital, allowing tests to be conducted without direct insect handling, which improves patient safety and comfort while maintaining the insects' natural stinging behavior.
The device's adjustable mesh design makes it suitable for various hymenopteran insects, and the study demonstrates that StingReady offers a practical, reproducible, and ethically better method for testing VIT effectiveness across different insect species.]
