Vibration Anesthesia Device
Our hand-held, ergonomic tool designed to help physicians reduce injection-related pain for patients. Using gentle, targeted vibration near the injection site, the device temporarily distracts nerve signals, making injections more comfortable and improving the overall patient experience.
Includes 1 AA battery
Directions
Hold the VAD in one hand and lightly press against the injection site. Press and hold the button. The patient will feel a gentle vibration and the bright blue light will illuminate the area of vibration anesthesia. Using the other hand, place the tip of the needle at the site of the blue light’s beam and inject. Hold the vibration for a few seconds after injection is complete.
FAQs
What infections is this indicated for?
Intended to reduce discomfort associated with injections, vaccinations, or minor needle procedures in adults and children.
What is the mechanism of action?
The device delivers localized vibration near the injection site, which stimulates sensory nerves and temporarily blocks pain signals to the brain (Gate Control Theory of Pain). This reduces the perception of needle-related discomfort.
How long should treatment continue?
The VAD is used only during the injection procedure. Continuous application is not required beyond the injection duration.
How should patients be counseled?
Explain to patients that the device is designed to reduce injection pain by vibrating near the injection site. Reassure them that it is safe, non-invasive, and helps make the procedure more comfortable.
