How NeedleCalm™ Helps Reduce Needle Anxiety in Children
NeedleCalm™ is a silicone adhesive pad placed on the skin near the injection site moments before the procedure. Stored in the fridge before use, it combines gentle cooling and tactile stimulation to engage the body’s natural sensory responses — based on the Gate Control Theory of pain.
