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 />

“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 />
