Getting a Blood Draw without the Pinch Using the Digivibe Device

Patrick GrueschowAugust 29, 2024

If you're someone who dreads the pinch of a needle during a blood draw, you’re not alone. The fear of needle pain is very common. Thanks to the innovative Digivibe device by Suthe Dermal, you can say goodbye to that uncomfortable sting. This small, handheld device uses gentle vibrations to block the sensation of pain during injections. It makes your next visit to the doctor a more comfortable experience.

To illustrate, here's a simple guide, using the Digivibe to experience a blood draw without the pinch, inspired by a recent doctor's visit:

 

Blood Draw without the Pinch:

Hi Trish, I'm afraid of needle pain, so I brought along this little device that uses vibrations to block the needle pain. Can I show you how it works?

You place the Digivibe on the nurse's finger, and she feels the gentle vibrations.

"That's pretty cool," she says. "How does it work?"

Trish, if you’ll point to where you are going to insert the needle, I’ll vibrate the area for twenty seconds, just about 3/8 of an inch from the target spot. As soon as you insert the needle, I’ll remove the device. Does that sound OK to you?

"Yes, that sounds good."

With the nurse’s approval, you turn on the Digivibe and begin vibrating the area near the injection site. After a brief 20 seconds, the nurse inserts the needle, and you remove the device. Before you know it, the blood draw is over.

"You’re very good. I felt no pinch!" you exclaim.

"Thanks for letting me use my device," you add with a smile.

 

Why the Digivibe Works for Blood Draws

 

The science behind the Digivibe applies the gate control theory of pain,. The theory suggests that non-painful stimuli, like vibrations, can interfere with pain signals sent to the brain. By applying vibrations near the injection site, the Digivibe blocks the pain signals from reaching the brain, allowing you to experience a more comfortable and less stressful blood draw.

 

How to Use the Digivibe

 

  1. Bring It Along: Make sure to take your Digivibe with you to your next appointment.
  2. Explain to Your Nurse: Let the healthcare provider know that you’d like to use the Digivibe to help block the needle pain.
  3. Position the Device: Ask the nurse to show you where the needle will be inserted, and then apply the Digivibe vibrations about 3/8 of an inch away from that spot.
  4. Vibrate for 20 Seconds: Let the vibrations work for around 20 seconds before the needle is inserted.
  5. Remove After Insertion: As soon as the needle is inserted, remove the Digivibe and relax!
