BUZZY is a small vibrating device designed to help block sharp pain and provide distraction during medical procedures.
A cooling pad (ice-wings) is placed behind Buzzy, and Buzzy is placed between the brain and the pain (usually on arms or hands). Turn Buzzy on and leave him in place during the procedure. Your attention is taken away from the needle and pain and focused on the cool, vibrating buzzy bee.
Buzzy confuses your body’s own nerves and distracts attention away from the pain, thereby dulling or eliminating sharp injection pain. In the same way that rubbing a bumped elbow helps, or cool running water soothes a burn.The gate control theory is the basis for Buzzy. “Gate control” is the term used to describe pain relief by causing sensations other than pain, and then sending them down the same pathway where pain gets blocked at the “gate”. Sharp pain, itching, and burning are transmitted on the same nerve to a transmission system in the dorsal (sensory) horn of the spinal cord. Motion signals travel alongside pain fibers on Abeta nerves, as do temperature and pressure nerves (C fibers). A single summary signal is then transmitted up the spinal cord, thus excess vibration or cold can overwhelm or dilute the sharp pain from shots, itching, or burning from medications.

Buzzy4Shots Healthcare Pain Relief Device – Drug-Free Vibration & Cold Therapy for Pain and Distraction During Medical Procedures
BUZZY is a small, vibrating device designed to block sharp pain and provide distraction during medical procedures. By combining high-frequency vibration with a cooling pad (ice-wings), Buzzy works using the gate control theory of pain—overriding pain signals before they reach the brain.
To use, place the cooling pad behind Buzzy, then position Buzzy between the brain and the pain (typically on the arm or hand). Switch it on and keep it in place during the procedure. The cool, buzzing sensation draws attention away from the needle, reducing both pain and anxiety.
Perfect for vaccinations, blood draws, IV insertions, and other needle-related treatments, Buzzy is trusted by healthcare professionals and parents worldwide for children and adults alike.
Buzzy4Shots Distraction Cards – Use the Simple Art of Distraction to Reduce Stress and Anxiety During Medical Procedures
The Buzzy4Shots Distraction Cards work with or without the Buzzy Healthcare Pain Relief Device to help reduce stress, anxiety, and perceived pain during medical procedures.
Distraction can reduce pain by up to 50% and is often more effective than medical pain relief. Based on hospital child specialist techniques, these cards use the right complexity and variety to keep patients focused away from the procedure—no training required.
Each set includes five credit card-sized, brightly coloured cards on a snap ring with counting and finding tasks and age-appropriate questions on the back. Flip a card and ask the questions to engage the patient. Attach to a badge or keychain for quick access.

Buzzy Pain Relief Device
My daughter has just been for her 11 year old inoculations. We had tried 4 times unsuccessfully but this visit was a breeze to get 2 injections in no time. The nurse said she couldn't believe it was the same girl. I would highly recommend to anyone who is struggling with someone who hates needles. Thank you so much for stocking this product.

Genius Product
Bless the person who invented this product. My 6 year old was recently diagnosed with T1 diabetes and she screamed every time we came anywhere near her with a needle. On a diabetes facebook page I saw buzzy. We got one and it has made the world of difference. No problems now to blood sugar tests. She doesn't seem to feel a thing and it gives her something she can focus on instead of the prick.

Cancer Treatment
My daughter has leukemia which involves a very long treatment plan involving lots of injections, blood tests and medical treatments with needles. Like many children she is scared of needles. I googled ways we could help her through and came across Buzzy. I'm so glad we found this little bee because he has made a world of difference. It really has worked wonders and given her a way of control over a scary situation. The nurses are lovely and so supportive and they have welcomed the use of her buzzy for each treatment. So much so, they are getting their own supply of buzzies for their department. I think this product should be funded for all cancer wards, not just for kids, but for adults too. There is lots of medical trials which back up the science behind why/how it works to distract the nerves. Thanks to the inventor of this little product that has made such a big difference.

Best High Chair!
I’m honestly so impressed with this high chair — it has everything you’d want as a parent. Not only is it packed with all the must-have features, but it’s also incredibly chic, which is such a bonus! I only wish I had discovered the Harper sooner. It’s super easy to clean (a lifesaver), incredibly comfy for your little one, and the safety is next-level. It’s sturdy through every stage and built to last. Highly recommend this one — you really can’t go wrong!

Amazing quality and easy to set up!
We love our Emmett travel cot! It was so easy to set up and perfect for our wee baby who is only 2 months old. It’s the perfect height to pop into our tent as it’s not too tall, and using the bassinet feature it creates a great storage space underneath!
We love our Bumbo seat and how easy it is to use. My son sits very comfortably in it as well x

Perfect change table!
This has to be the best change table out there! The curved edges are my favourite feature- soft and safe for those wriggly babies! Everything is within reach which is another tick. It comes with a free fitted sheet which is another bonus - no baby wants to lay on a cold change mat! The design is incredible, it’s nice and light, super easy to move around and also very stylish!
