NeedleCalm™ was also invented in direct response to the trauma of a child with needle-fear – and the dangerous situation their reaction created for the medical team trying to undertake a routine procedure. The end result was for nurse, and NeedleCalm™ founder Lauren Barber being pricked with a dirty needle. It was during her recovery from multiple surgeries to rectify the injury that Lauren decided it was time to do more to help normalise needle procedures by reducing the pain and fear associated with them.
After many years of research and development, the Australian-invented and founded NeedleCalm™ was approved by Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration for use. And it’s now available Australian-wide to parents and their children via a growing number of healthcare professionals, pharmacies or online to patients direct.
NeedleCalm™ is non-invasive and a faster alternative to numbing creams. It works using the proprietary technology to utilise the body’s own natural process called the Gate Control Theory of Pain. There are a number of places NeedleCalm™ can be applied across the body to cater for the majority of needle procedures undertaken on children and adults alike.
You, as parents, are just as important to reducing needle pain, fear and phobia in our children as NeedleCalm™ itself. Ahead of your next visit, ask your GP, paediatrician or pharmacist whether they use NeedleCalm™, and if not, recommend it. You can also purchase NeedleCalm™ direct from one of our stockists listed on the Buy Now section of the website.
Always follow the instructions for use.
