Clinically Proven
Buzzy® is FDA registered, 501(k) cleared to control pain safely and effectively. Over 50 independent studies offer further clinical proof.
Personal Use
Help vaccine fear be a memory - with Power over Pain! Invented by a mom physician, Buzzy is a powerful palm-sized pal with the right frequency of vibration to cancel nearby pain. Bring Buzzy® to the doctor for vaccinations or blood draws. Use Buzzy anywhere to make self-injecting or infusions easier, fingersticks a non-issue, and dialysis and port access less stressful.
Healthcare Professionals
Use Buzzy® to improve adherence, patient experience and satisfaction. Multipatient Healthcare Buzzy® is used instead of topical anesthetics: it is 10x faster, 4 times more economical, and by far the most proven. FDA cleared to control pain from lab draws, IVs, and injections, trusted in over 5,000 hospitals and clinics worldwide.
Freeze Ice Wings
For best pain relief, the wings must be frozen solid to avoid absorbing vibration. Wings will stay frozen for about 10 minutes at room temperature.
Attach Your Wings
For the Mini, place the hole in the ice wings over the hook on the back of Buzzy. For the personal, slide the ice wings through the elastic strap on the back of Buzzy.
Turn Buzzy On
Once Buzzy is being held in place either by a strap, tourniquet, or by hand, press the button or switch on the top of Buzzy. The Buzzy Mini has an automatic shut-off feature after 3 minutes.
Place Buzzy
Place Buzzy directly on the site of the injection for 30-60 seconds, then move up (with power switch up/farthest away from site) and hold/secure. Buzzy works best when it's between the pain and the brain.

An award-winning combination
Buzzy uses natural “gate control” pain relief by confusing the body’s own nerves, thereby dulling or eliminating sharp pain. In the same way that rubbing a bumped elbow helps stop the hurt, Buzzy controls sharp pain. The premise is that when nerves receive non-painful signals such as vibration or cold, the brain closes the gate on pain signals.
The second part of Buzzy’s efficacy, and the reason it can help even when distant from the site of procedural pain, is called Descending Noxious Inhibitory Control, or DNIC. DNIC is another effective mechanism of pain control that uses the brain’s ability to dampen out unwanted signals. Instead of happening right where the nerves are, though, an intense degree of cold can work anywhere on the body. In scientific terms, intense cold activates a supraspinal modulation raising the body’s overall pain threshold.
