ShotBlocker

Injections

Bionix Medical Technologies has taken a giant step towards removing the pain and anxiety associated with injections with its introduction of ShotBlocker®, a unique,new medical device that works through a novel application of the gate control theory of pain management. This theory states that a gating mechanism exists in the spinal cord through which both pain and sensory signals travel to the brain. ShotBlocker stimulates the skin at the injection site with multiple blunt skin contact points on its underside.The sensation this produces closes the “gate” to block the flow of pain signals to the brain.The gate control theory of pain management has proven valuable in understanding the body's regulation of pain, and ShotBlocker is the first mechanical device to use this approach to reduce the pain associated with injections.
