Why Pediatric Injection Pain Needs Immediate Solutions

In clinical pediatric settings, pain from injections, heel lances, and blood draws is often under-addressed. A Canadian Journal of Pain study found that over 80% of hospitalized children experienced pain, and in infants, 93% cited needle pokes as their most painful experience—yet fewer than one-third received pain mitigation like sucrose or comfort strategies.

That’s where Digivibe by Suthe makes a meaningful difference.

How Digivibe Works to Block Needle Pain

The Digivibe device uses targeted vibration to help block pain signals at the skin level using the scientifically supported Pain Gate Theory. By activating surrounding nerve fibers with vibration, the “gate” to pain signals is partially closed, reducing the sensation of sharp pain from a needle stick.

  • Pediatric vaccinations
  • Blood glucose checks
  • Routine blood draws
  • Growth hormone and fertility injections
  • At-home care for chronic illness

Designed for Pediatric & Clinical Use

The Digivibe Kit includes:

The small sonic tip is ideal for tiny injection sites, such as heel sticks in newborns, while the large tip supports broader abdominal and thigh coverage for older children.
