NeedleCalm™supports people with a low tolerance to needle procedures.
A simple, evidence‑informed device designed to make injections and blood tests more comfortable.
For children, adults, and anyone who needs a calmer needle experience.
Supporting comfort, confidence, and access to care during needle procedures.
Many people have a low tolerance to needle procedures due to past experiences, heightened sensory responses, or medical trauma.
When distress isn’t recognised early, it can lead to delayed care, avoidance, and poorer health outcomes. NeedleCalm supports a calmer, more compassionate approach—helping people stay engaged with the care they need.
The INS Standards (2024) recognise everyone has a right to safe & effective pain management.
Our Mission
Our mission is to support people who have a low tolerance to needle procedures, reducing distress and healthcare avoidance through simple, compassionate solutions.
Our Vision
A world where no patient avoids care because of needles. By combining science, psychology, and compassion we will create calm, trusted experiences and ensure equitable access to life-saving treatment for all.
How NeedleCalm™ Works
NeedleCalm™ is a desensitising adhesive pad, which uses your body’s natural responses to block pain signals when it comes to needle pain & needle fear.
It combines a cool temperature & specific texture stimuli to create a barrier between your nerves and the needle. This approach helps both needle-averse patients & the healthcare staff who care for you.
Who is NeedleCalm™ For?
NeedleCalm is used to support:
• People with a low tolerance to needle procedures
• Children who find injections or blood tests difficult
• Adults with a history of challenging needle experiences
• People managing chronic conditions requiring frequent procedures
• Anyone who benefits from additional support during needle procedures
It can be used if you are having ongoing treatments at home or in a clinic, such as chemotherapy, biologics or IVF.
If you’ve simply had a bad experience with needles in the past, NeedleCalm™ can help prepare you for an optimised needle procedure.
