spray was used then when placebo was used...”<br />

Clinician Testimonial<br />

“I have over 23 years of clinical experience in Medical-Surgical and Critical Care Nursing and have started<br />

thousands of <strong>IV</strong>s over the years and absolutely love this product. Being hospitalized for any type of procedure<br />

is anxiety provoking. After telling a patient that I will be starting an <strong>IV</strong>, I tell them I will be using a topical numbing<br />

spray that will minimize their discomfort. They immediately seem less anxious. After using Pain Ease and starting<br />

the <strong>IV</strong>, many patients say, ‘I wish they had that product around years ago!’ or ‘I wish they would use that in other<br />

places.’ Easing a patient’s pain for something as simple as an <strong>IV</strong> start clearly eases their anxiety. Pain Ease<br />

stops the anxiety-pain cycle even before it starts and starts their surgical experience on a positive note.<br />

I see the beneficial results and I hear the positive comments!”<br />

Clinical evidence for choosing Pain Ease<br />

Use a topical anesthetic to control the pain associated<br />

“Cannulation on first attempt was more often successful with the<br />

use of vapocoolant spray (85.0%) than with placebo (62.5%)...”<br />

“It causes less interference with cannulation than lidocaine; even<br />

though it freezes the skin, no venoconstriction occurs and, unlike<br />

lidocaine, no tissue distortion occurs.”<br />

a comparison with intradermal lidocaine. Can J Anaesth. 1990 Sep; 37(6): 656-8.<br />

“Following application of the local anesthetic, there was a difference in<br />

venous visibility between groups; the ethyl chloride spray having no<br />

effect whilst the intradermal lidocaine impaired it. Ethyl chloride had<br />

no effect on the ease of insertion of the cannula whilst intradermal<br />

lidocaine increased the cannulation difficulty...”<br />
