Introducing the “Comfort-In Needle-Free Injector”, allowing us to administer anaesthetic without the need for traditional needles. With this method, we reduce the pain and anxiety for our patients, ensuring a more comfortable and stress-free experience.
Instead of a needle, the injector uses high pressure to penetrate the skin and deposit the anaesthetic into the underlying tissue. In most instances, using this device is enough for us to perform whatever is required, or it can be used to numb the area prior to needle usage.
Common uses for the needle-free injector:
- Digital block for ingrowing nail surgery
- Ingrown nail discomfort in general treatment
- Foreign body removal
The Comfort-in injection system has many advantages such as:
- Needle-free injection
- Virtually painless
- Reduces tissue damage and scar tissue
- Minimises injection-induced stress
- Elimination of injury to patient and physician caused by needle
- Safe and easy use
The needle-free injection is virtually painless. The sensation can be described as a slight pressure on the skin surface, depending on the volume of anaesthetic and the individual sensitivity.
At Stepping Out Podiatry, we want to make the removal of ingrown nails as comfortable and pain free for our patients as possible, and with the needle free injection system, the fear and trauma for some patients associated with needle injections can be put to rest.
