We are on a mission to change the narrative for patients suffering from needle fear and phobia. NeedleCalm™ is a simple, affordable and safe way to help alleviate the physical and mental distress of needle procedures.
Effective Pain Relief
NeedleCalm’s fast-acting combination of cooling and pressure helps to dull and block the sharp sensation of the needle. It’s perfect needle procedures such as IV cannulas, blood tests, sub- cutaneous and intramuscular injections.
Immediate Action
Hypoallergenic. Latex free.No nasty chemicals. Needlecalm works with only seconds of wait time to help alleviate pain and anxiety resulting in a more relaxed and comfortable experience. .
Reduces HealthCare Avoidance
Promotes a healthy patient – clinician relationship. Improves time to a diagnosis in busy ED settings. Helps to improve the patient experience. Patients who experience less pain and anxiety are more likely to adhere to treatment protocols, leading to improved clinical outcomes.
Stick with us and see the difference
NeedleCalm is a multi award winning Australian-made device that helps reduce the fear, stress, pain and anxiety associated with needle procedures. Using both temperature and texture, NeedleCalm utilises your body’s natural response to certain stimuli to prevent pain signals from reaching the brain. The result? A much better experience for people who don’t like needles—and for the healthcare clinicians administering them.
NeedleCalm™ – Intentionally designed to be boring and discreet
Our device was created by Lauren, a medical professional who suffered an injury from a dirty needle stick in 2016 which required surgery. Needlephobia affects people from all walks of life, both adults and children. She realised that there was a gap in the market for a product that could be used for multiple needle procedures which didn’t make people feel ashamed or embarrassed to speak about their concerns.
After extensive research and experimentation, she developed NeedleCalm™ to provide more effective solutions to clinical practices.
Beyond just the physical product the company provides education to raise awareness about needle phobia to both patients and clinicians. We believe that with education, innovation and compassion even the most daunting challenges can be overcome.
Giving patients and clinicians one less thing to worry about
Needle procedures are often a necessary part of medical care and maintaining well-being. They can cause considerable distress, particularly in young children. NeedleCalm aims to empower patients to manage and control their fear of needles. Moreover, it aids in decreasing procedure time and stress for both healthcare providers and patients, enhancing accuracy and consistency to achieve the best results possible and decrease adverse outcomes such as unnecessary repeated cannulation attempts.

Dawn Corsar2024-01-06I am so grateful for this product. I had surgery recently and needed unpleasant daily clexane injections afterward, using Needlecalm I could barely feel them! THANK YOU!
Caroline H2023-12-10The use of needlecalm has been life changing for me. I am slowly building up my confidence with needles and injections after suffering from a needle/blood phobia my entire life. I highly recommend you try it.
Eva Reinander2023-12-02My neighbour's daughter suffers from mild needle phobia. For years it has been a challenge for the parents as every hospital visit, or visit to the GP, has been a stressful experience. I crossed paths with Lauren a few years ago and learnt all about NeedleCalm and the difference this product makes for people with needle phobia. I recommended my neighbour to try the NeedleCalm patch on their daughter and it has been a game changer for them. Their daughter is now able to have a needle inserted without fear and anxiety. Keep up the good work Lauren. NeedleCalm makes a difference for many. Please help her spread the word.
