Would this work for large IM shots to reduce the feel of the needle, or does it just help with the initial prick?

Buzzy can be used for for all injections, including IM injections. The one difference with its use for IM injections is that you would want to hold Buzzy with its ice wings on the injection site for a full minute as opposed to 30 seconds with other types of injections for deeper desensitization. Longer exposure should let the effects of cold and vibration provide deeper pain relief. For more painful and/or burning injections, Buzzy on average reduces pain by 1/2, in one study using Buzzy with IM Bicillin pain was reduced by 54%.

That is dependent upon the person. It takes the edge off of my daughter when I give her chemotherapy injections. She says she feels it somewhat, but a good distraction. She is 8. Also depends how close to the injection site you can hold it. The closer the better. Use acupuncture points as a guide. Glad we purchased. Also used for my 4 yr old vaccinations. Helped.

I used this for when I got a tattoo. I didn't even feel when she started tattooing, but it did wear off as we went on. But for a piercing? I wouldn't even bother, a piercing is so quick it will be over quick. If you have very low pain tolerance I would be more worried about when you snag the piecing on your clothes day to day, but thats just me. I did have a very bad reaction to this product and part of my tattoo came out so just be aware and Don't use this after the piercing is done.

no, it is a little difficult to get small amt. out. I use a small needle & syringe but everyone may not have this handy. would be better if had dropper, but it is good stuff

Of course we had to test this question when I first bought it. We stood about 4/5 feet apart and shot each other in the back. It does sting a bit when you first get shot, I think most of it is anticipation, but after about a minute the "pain" goes away.

I use it for BD insulin and it works fine. It could be used for more than 30ml or up to 100ml syringes. If the needle size is the same length, I think it could be used for others too, although, I have not used it except for insulin.

Who knows? All I know is that it works! It magnifies needlepoint very nicely; you won't regret getting it. I use mine all the time. You loosen or tighten the cord that it hangs from around your neck to get the level of magnification you need.

Hi Jared C. There are two options. One without extension ring and other with ring. With extention ring the needle penetrates about little less than quarter inch and without it goes little less than half inch.

The needle works with the corresponding tip, when I changed mine they would not fit together if I used the wrong size needle and tip, I just used it yesterday the needle may also have a stamping on the brass sleeve of the needle.

This is not particularly heavy, but it will take some effort to cock it. If you took a lot of shots you might have sore arms.

Hello,yes the Novofine needle should work fine.I use a BD ultra-fine 31Gx8mm,but they do make shorter needles.I hope this helps.

Not that I know of but you would need to ask your doctor or pharmacist... I like the aviva test strips because they are accurate and the meter is set to #1 which you can barely feel.. . There are some newer smaller model meters but I don't know if the needles are any smaller.... I hope you can find the answers you're looking for. . . Good Luck.

I would think so. It definitely works for my son and he hardly feels the (sub cutaneous) shots that I have to give him now. It's worth trying.

Yes, the needles do penetrate the skin and are very sharp. The photo is misleading as it makes the roller look very large, but in fact is very small. I bought the 0.5, but after a few more weeks use I will probably go up to the 1.0. So far so good, I mean I haven't seen dramatic changes, but then again I've only used it less than 6 times.

yes, it should help. it is supposed to scramble pain signals to the brain. it is personally recommended by my 4 year old granddaughter! she did get a shot last week IM where she experienced some discomfort, but it still helped.

It adds some length to the pull. But it will probably not stop your shoulder from bruising. Maybe if you drill out some of the hard plastic it would give more, but thats not the look I wanted. Shooting with this pad on, you can still feel the gun quite well when you pull the trigger.

Yes the needle is very thin maybe the of a pen, just compress very lightly and you're good to go
