The Buzzy XL model (referred to as Buzzy Personal or Buzzy XL Healthcare) is slightly larger than the Mini. Aside from size, the primary difference between the two is the style of vibration.
- XL models have a toggle switch with continuous vibration. This makes them more ideal for longer procedures like infusions or multiple injections.
- Mini models have a 3-minute automatic shutoff. The mini healthcare has two different vibration modes: 3-minutes of steady vibration with automatic shutoff and 3-minutes of pulsed vibration with an automatic shutoff. The mini's smaller size also makes it more ideal for small children to be able to handle comfortably.
*The ice wings affix differently to the two models. For XL models, slide the wings horizontally through the elastic band on the back. For mini models, slide the wings down vertically so that the hook fits neatly through the whole aligns with the width of the hole in the ice pack.
The difference between these versions is entirely cosmetic. There is no difference in function or operating procedure.
While the Striped Buzzy is often the most familiar and recognizable to the average person, many adults prefer the simplicity of the plain black. Those with a fear of bees may also be more comfortable with a Plain Black or LadyBuzz unit.
The Buzzy Pro stands out as an excellent option for adults undergoing extended medical procedures, including dialysis and blood draws. Equipped with five ice packs designed for single-patient use and a pair of straps, it offers a solid alternative to the Buzzy Healthcare Plain Black model. This version is particularly appealing to adults seeking a more sophisticated device without the whimsical insect-inspired design.
