"Shot-blockers"

Specialties Pediatric

Published

Question relates to Pediatric Office setting but there is more traffic on this forum.

We use a device called a "shot-blocker" when administering immunizations to toddlers and up.

Our supplier no longer has them. I have done searches online and cannot find another source.

It is a small plastic device with multiple small points on the underside and a hole in the middle. It does seem to help with the pain of the immunization administration.

Any help appreciated,

Thanks

It says for children 4+, however we use it on our toddlers.
