J tip - Anyone using this?

Hi,

I just saw this ,although it may have been out for a while. J-tip syringe that uses gas instead of a needle to put Lidocaine into the sub q space before IV insertion.

Is anyone using this? How well does it work?

I think this would be great for diabetics if they can use it for Insulin, as I am sure it is already being tested for that!

    I would like to add to all comments about the J-Tip cost that they might not aware of it; the J-Tip is a unique design and made out over 10 components which makes possible to provide an anesthetic effect in 1-2 minutes versus EMLA takes 45-60 minutes. It's specifically helpful in the ER when you have time constraints and children are not cooperative. It saves time and eliminates multiple Needle Sticks.

    Just curious if you have any data regarding J-tips reducing the number of needle sticks?
