Solution For Podiatrists
Podiatry without needles.
This Comfort-In Needle-Free Injector allows us to administer medications and treatments without the need for traditional needles, reducing pain and anxiety for our patients.
Whether you require localized anesthesia for a procedure or a specific medication to address a foot or ankle condition, our needle-free injector ensures a more comfortable and stress-free experience.
A needle-free injector is a medical device that uses high-pressure to deliver anaesthetic or other fluid (such as insulin) through the skin without the use of a needle. Instead of a needle, the injector uses a high-velocity jet of liquid to penetrate the skin and deposit the medication into the underlying tissue. In some instances, using this device is enough for us to perform whatever is required, and it can be used to numb the area prior to needle usage.
Podiatrists can use the injector for a variety of different treatments, for example:
- Digital block for ingrowing nail surgery
- Plantar wart removal
- Skin lesion removal
- Nerve Blocks
• Tibial nerve
• Sural nerve
• Deep and superficial peroneal nerves - Baxter’s neuritis
- Plantar fascial pain
- Achilles pain
- Kager’s fat pad pain
- Joint injection for arthritic conditions
- Diagnostic studies and/or biopsy
- Foreign body removal
- Painful or acute neuropathy
- Tarsal Tunnel pain
- Release adhesions
- Prolotherapy
The Comfort-in injection system has many advantages such as:
- Needle-free injection
- Virtually painless
- Reduces tissue damage and scar tissue
- Reduces psychological inhibitions and fears
- Minimises injection-induced stress
- Elimination of injury to patient and physician caused by needle
- Safe and easy use
- Most economical on the market, being good for up to 10,000 injections
When correctly applied, the injection with Comfort-in is virtually painless. The sensation can be described as a short slight pressure on the skin surface. As fluid is pressed under the skin the patient will sense the injection more or less, depending on the volume and the individual sensitivity.
It is possible to complete a toe-block using the Comfort-In for nail surgery. Ankle blocks are possible, though it is recommended to supplement with a needle for more depth. It is also very useful when performing prolotherapy where several injection sites are used.
Many Podiatrists using the Comfort-In have reported that their patients have been very appreciative of having the injector used on them prior to any needle usage. The cost effectiveness of this device is easy to appreciate, and so will your patients.
