FAQs

• How do I order this product?

  You can order by contacting Bionix directly (bionix@bionix.com or 800.551.7096); contacting your distributor of choice or purchasing on Amazon (5 Count; 50 Count; 100 Count).

• How does the ShotBlocker work?

  Shotblocker’s ability to block pain is based on the Gate Control Theory of Pain Management. The theory states that there is a gating mechanism in the spinal cord that can be either opened or closed. When opened, pain signals are transferred through small nerve fibers to the brain and a pain sensation is experienced. It has been found that the gate can be closed by simultaneous stimulation of large diameter nerve fibers, those that respond to touch.

• Are there studies that prove ShotBlocker blocks the pain of injections?

  Bionix Medical Technologies partnered with Flower Hospital in Toledo, Ohio to complete a study on the effectiveness of the ShotBlocker device. The results of the study show that the ShotBlocker significantly reduced pain from minor injections. View the ShotBlocker studies.

• Why is ShotBlocker single-patient use?

  ShotBlocker is designed to be a single-patient use device to prevent cross contamination during injection procedures. The single-patient use feature of the ShotBlocker also eliminates the cost associated with resterilization.

• What is the added cost to injection procedures when using ShotBlocker?

  At about .50 per device, the cost of ShotBlocker will be minimal compared to other methods that are currently used.
