Bionix - ShotBlocker, Eases Discomfort from Immunizations & Injections, Great Alternative to Numbing Creams, Use At Home or On-The-Go, Safe for Kids, Easy-to-Use, Reusable (5 Count)

tres bon produit

My son has EoE and receives an injection every two weeks. As a parent, anything that can help make that experience a little easier is worth trying. We were pleasantly surprised by how well the ShotBlocker worked. It helps distract from the discomfort of the injection and has made shot days much less stressful for him. It's simple to use, easy to clean, and small enough to store with his medication supplies. While it doesn't make the shot completely painless, it definitely helps reduce the anxiety and discomfort. If you or your child have regular injections, I highly recommend giving this a try.

They definitely seem to work when we "tested" them at home with the controlled experiment my kids designed with a swift jab from the kids' toy doctor kit plastic syringe once with and once without the shot blocker. I nixed their next hypothesis that it would also help if they tried to jab me with a mechanical pencil, for science. So I stayed content knowing that the sensation of a plastic toy needle is different with the blocker than when it's not pressed on your skin. My kids have since used them for their flu shots and the first dose of their covid vaccines they still cried for the flu shot, but I didn't have to hold them still, and then they immediately agreed that it did actually help. They really liked that that were doing something to mitigate the pain instead of just being held down against their will. For the covid shots 4 weeks later, they were excited to bring them again and even took the responsibility of making sure they were packed in my persevere. Mine were the only 2 kids out of 7 at the clinic that didn't cry, BUT they did balk and go rigid & try to get away from the chair for a moment when the pharmacist first said his boss doesn't like him to use them because they can make blood shoot across the room when the needle is injected (? Plausible, I guess?), but when I pulled out just a little momma bear and assured him that our pediatrician OK'd them and that they'd successfully used them for shots at the pediatrician's without any spurting of blood he relented and let me hold them on the kids' arms. They took the shots like champs and didn't whimper, tear up, or anything. Even reported the next morning that peeling off the bandaids from their arms hurt more than actually getting the shot. TL;DR: they do have some effect on the sensations around the shot blocker, but it's unclear whether the actual pain reduction or the feeling of some control over the situation is what makes my kids like them. Either way, 10/10 recommend for kids who are strong willed and shot-averse.

This product worked really well. For all my 69 years, I've always shunned and avoided IM injections at all costs because of the pain during the injection and the pain that lasts days afterwards. This COVID pandemic convinced me that I needed to get the vaccine, so I bought the ShotBlocker and used it at the vaccination site. The nurse had no problem using it, and wow I was, and still am, very surprised at the results. There was absolutely no feeling of the needle going in, but I'd been warned about the thickness of the solution that will cause pain when injected. I did feel the nasty pain of the fluid going in, but the pressure provided by the nurse pressing the device against my arm kept me from tensing the muscle. Immediately afterwards, I couldn't tell I'd even gotten an injection. I was prepared to be a little sore today, but so far there is no soreness at all. I'm one of the happiest people on earth right now! Every health care provider should offer them to patients. I'm actually thinking of getting caught up on my inoculations because of this wonderful ShotBlocker. I can't believe I even said that! Now three weeks later, I was so confident in this product that I updated two vaccinations a couple of days ago. Absolutely no pain during the injections (Shingrix and Prevnar13) and no soreness of any kind afterwards. I am so happy that I've already scheduled the last of my long-overdue vaccinations (Shingrix #2 and Tdap) in two months. I'm actually excited about it! ShotBlocker is a life-changer for me! The key is to press it very hard into the skin while giving the injection. That's the key.

Seems to work!
