THIN THINKING

INJECTION AIDS

A brief round-up of bits and bobs that can keep the basics

of insulin injecting simpler, addressing pain, getting rid of

needles, and how not to forget when you last injected.

TickleFLEX is a very simple awardwinning device

that fits on the needle

of an insulin pen and distracts the pain

signals, hides the needle, gathers a small

fold of subcutaneous tissue and secures

the needle in place, making the whole

injecting process easier. Great for patients

who have a stressful time injecting or who

have needle phobia, as the issues that

cause these stresses are eliminated. It is

also ideal way of getting children not to

worry about being injected. For HCP's,

TickleFLEX offers a unique and simple

distraction strategy to promote or provide

to any patients who are uncomfortable

with injecting themselves due to pain or

needle phobia. £14.95
