Needle anxiety shouldn’t stand in the way of necessary healthcare.
How NeedleCalm™ Works
NeedleCalm™ is a desensitising adhesive pad, which uses your body’s natural responses to block pain signals when it comes to needle pain & needle fear.

It combines a cool temperature & specific texture stimuli to create a barrier between your nerves and the needle. This approach helps both needle-averse patients & the healthcare staff who care for you.
Who is NeedleCalm™ For?
NeedleCalm™ can be used & accessed by anyone – individuals, children & adults alike, as well as healthcare professionals.
NeedleCalm™ is ideal for those who experience trypanaphobia, those who have a fear or phobia of needles.
It is ideal for parents & carers who have children who are scared of immunisations & afraid of blood tests.

It can be used if you are having ongoing treatments at home or in a clinic, such as chemotherapy, biologics or IVF.
If you’ve simply had a bad experience with needles in the past, NeedleCalm™ can help prepare you for a painless injection experience.

Addressing a real barrier to healthcare. Highly recommend NeedleCalm to anyone with a needle phobia! Sharon Stoliar2025-04-10 This product is truly incredible. I tried it out for intradermal sterile water injections into my lower back for back pain. Usually those injections are excruciatingly painful and sting for quite some time. I tried needlecalm the last time and I barely felt it. I'm impressed by this product and I think it would be extremely useful for anyone or child with needle phobia. Highly recommend! Sarah H2025-03-11 Lauren is an expert in her field. Her tenacity to help others struggling with needle phobia is admirable. Having seen my brother pass out at the sight of a needle i cannot recommend Lauren highly enough. Her products are well researched and developed with the patient at the top of mind.

The Story Behind NeedleCalm™: Lauren Barber’s Vision
Lauren Barber, a clinical nurse specialist and the founder of NeedleCalm™, was inspired to create this solution from her own personal experience.
In 2016, she suffered an injury from a dirty needle stick that required surgery, an incident that ignited her determination to tackle the widespread issue of needle phobia and anxiety.
Recognising that the healthcare market lacked a versatile product for multiple needle procedures that didn’t stigmatise patients’ concerns, Lauren embarked on extensive research and experimentation.
This journey led to the development of NeedleCalm™, a practical and effective solution for clinical practices. Lauren’s innovation is rooted in her deep understanding of patient needs and her unwavering commitment to improving healthcare experiences.
Her work with NeedleCalm™ has not only provided relief for countless patients but has also earned multiple awards, underscoring the significance of her contribution to patient care.
