Bionix Corporation Health at Home Shotblocker Pain Relief Solution

I have to give my wife an Insulin shot twice a day. Every shot was painful and we both really hated to do it, but she has to have the insulin!The Shotblocker was an inexpensive trick to try. It looked like it had a reason to work: I have serious nerve disease, and understand pain and the techniques to stop or mask it. One often effective way to reduce the apparent pain is to overwhelm the body with stimulus. Make so many nerves receive so much stimulation they can't deliver information about additional stimulus. Capsaicin and TENS electroshock therapy both work this way, so the concept behind Shotblocker seemed sound. With Shotblocker, you poke a lot of "pretend" holes in the skin that don't hurt, then hit it with the real hole in the middle and often the body can't process the extra stimulation and sensation of the real puncture. Simple. Effective.IT WORKS! She reports it nearly always helps! While nothing will dull the occasional really big hurts when a nerve is directly damaged by the needle, the Shotblocker "hides" many of her injections-meaning she did not feel the needle puncture. It helps with many more. She will not take a shot without it!!Technique suggestion: The instructions say to "pinch" a chunk of fatty tissue and inject in the middle. Her injections are to her stomach and the "pinch" does not collect a suitable amount of tissue. So, I lay Shotblocker flat, pressing the Shotblocker firmly against her stomach with 3 fingers which I keep straight. This provides a stable "tower" above her skin. I lay my other hand (with the syringe) against my three finger "tower" for stability, and do the injection. This technique helps keep the syringe motionless during her often long injections. I clean hers about once a week with the same alcohol pad I used to clean her skin before I did the injection. I would encourage using one per person unless you clean it well between uses. Soapy water by hand would be suitable as would a dishwasher, probably should use the upper shelf.Shotblocker really does help. I won't say every time, but it helps almost all the time and completely hides many injections. She likes it so well I just ordered one for each of my grandchildren to take to the doctor.SUGGESTION to Bionix Health at Home: Do these in pink and blue so the kids can have their own color choice.***Two Years of use and this is still a must have product!It has been two years and about a thousand injections later and this is still used, every time.Cannot say enough good things about this product. Where is a sixth star when you need it??Buy It!!

I've only used it once so far, but I'm very impressed. Often when getting shots it's painful and I end up getting dizzy and/or nauseous, which is why I got this hoping it would reduce that. Well, it didn't just reduce the pain, I literally didn't feel the shot at all! And with that, no dizziness or nausea. The shot site still ached a little later, but that's easily tolerable. 5 stars.

AMAZING! My daughter named this "the magic thing", and it truly seems like magic! The trick is to press really hard, which serves both as a nerve distraction as well as a mental distraction because you're focused on this and not the shot. I have used it myself, and so have two of my kids.We also purchased Buzzy. The concept was great and it's certainly much cuter, but it's expensive, complicated, and we found it didn't work. The ice wings don't stay frozen unless you carry it in a little cooler with additional ice packs, and the vibration wasn't near strong enough, so when even lightly pressing it on your skin you could hardly feel it. Very disappointing.

This seemed to work and help with the pain of vaccinations for my daughter who has an intense fear of shots. However, I had to argue with the nurse to get her to try it. When I told her about it and presented it to her she looked at me like I had three heads and was very snarky. She did ultimately use it (with a scowl on her face). Obviously this is a problem with the nurse herself and not the product, but maybe the creators of this product could do more "PR" to make it wider known in doctor's offices so that moms like me aren't treated like complete loons when suggesting its use.

I initially bought one of these as a gift for my brother, who has a phobia of needles, when he needed to get the COVID-19 booster dose. It didn't arrive in time for his first appointment (my mistake, didn't order it early enough), and even with two sedatives he still was too panicked for the booster. He brought this to his second appointment, and our parents distracted him while the nurse used the shotblocker to give him the booster. It worked perfectly! When the nurse told him he was all set, he was surprised because he didn't even feel the needle!! We were all very happy with how well the shotblocker worked. Its completely changed my brother's doctor visits for shots.I then bought one for myself, and I'm very happy with it. If you're not paying attention to the needle, you barely notice, if you do notice it at all. It does work best when a second person is applying it (can be the same person giving the shot), and its flexible enough to pinch the muscle, for those who need to. Well worth the money!

I am a pediatric provider, and have used this "shotblocker" as well as the "buzzy" pain blocker both on myself and on my patients. I underwent IVF and I was required to give myself IM injections of a medication in oil for 10 weeks straight, so I got to try out a lot of different "pain blocking" techniques. This shotblocker did decrease the pain a little bit, but not as much as Buzzy does. I used the shotblocker a few times, and then didn't use it anymore, because I found that it really didn't do that much. My patients also seem to like Buzzy the best as well (it utilizes cold along with vibration to decrease pain). Buzzy is also much cuter (comes decorated as a ladybug or a bee, among other designs). The upside to shotblocker is that is is cheaper than Buzzy, so you can easily give it a try without spending a lot of money.

The Shot Blocker is awesome! We used it for getting our kids their vaccines, and they didn’t even notice the injection! Great product! I would definitely recommend this for people with babies and kids!

Producto de calidad pero en mi hijo no funcionó, no le ayuda a quitar el dolor de las inyecciones con aguja pequeña de insulina

Extremely useless product. A gadget made out of cheap plastic, not suitable for adult diabetic patients as the slot is simply not big enough to be used with an insulin pen. Disappointed with the purchase with not return, 1k down the drain.

AMAZING NO TEARS FOR SONS 6 month vaccines ❤️
