Description
Key Features:
Instant Topical Anesthetic (Vapocoolant): Works by rapidly cooling the skin surface through the immediate evaporation of its proprietary blend of 1,1,1,3,3-Pentafluoropropane (HFC-245fa) and 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane (HFC-134a). This creates a temporary numbing effect within 4-10 seconds.
Mechanism of Action: The intense cold created by the spray decreases the nerve conduction velocity of pain-sensing nerve fibers (C fibers and A-delta fibers), effectively interrupting pain signals to the spinal cord.
Medium Stream Spray: This particular model delivers the product in a medium, pinpoint stream, making it suitable for targeted application to specific areas. Other variations include a mist spray for broader coverage.
Non-Drug and Non-Flammable: A significant advantage, as it's not absorbed systemically and poses no fire risk during use, allowing it to be used safely, even with laser or cautery equipment.
FDA-Cleared: Cleared by the FDA to temporarily control pain associated with needle procedures and minor surgical procedures.
Can Be Used by Any Licensed Healthcare Practitioner: Does not require a physician's order for use.
Safe for Various Skin Types and Minor Wounds: Can be applied to intact skin, intact oral mucous membranes (oral cavity, nasal passages, and lips), and minor open wounds.
Portable and Easy to Use: Comes in an aerosol can, making it convenient for quick application in various clinical settings.
Quick Onset and Short Duration: The anesthetic effect is almost immediate but typically lasts only a few seconds to up to a minute, which is usually sufficient for quick procedures.
Uses:
Needle Procedures:
Injections: Immunizations, allergy injections, cosmetic procedures, pre-lidocaine injections (and in some cases, in place of lidocaine injections).
Venipuncture and IV Starts: Reducing pain and anxiety associated with blood draws and inserting intravenous lines.
Joint Injections: Numbing the skin before therapeutic injections into joints.
Minor Surgical Procedures:
Incision and Drainage: For small abscesses.
Lancing Boils: Providing discomfort relief during this procedure.
Foreign Body Removal: Easing the process of removing splinters or other small foreign objects.
Suturing and Suture Removal: Making these procedures more comfortable for the patient.
Skin Tag Removal: Numbing the area prior to removal.
Temporary Relief of Minor Sports Injuries: Can be used to alleviate pain from:
Sprains
Bruising and Contusions
Minor Cuts and Abrasions
Muscle Tension and Restricted Motion (especially when combined with "spray and stretch" techniques for myofascial pain syndromes).
Dental Procedures: Numbing the oral mucosa before injections or minor procedures.
General Patient Comfort: Used to improve patient comfort and reduce anxiety during various quick, painful procedures in hospitals, clinics, emergency rooms, and pediatric settings.

I cannot believe that doctors don’t understand how pain-free this product is for topical situations like having a port.
