“My daughter has been sick and has had several blood draws as of recent. She has a severe needle anxiety and has been known to hit or kick the healthcare provider. We were recently in the ER and were lucky to have the experience of the use of a J-Tip. It was a life changer and she is no longer afraid. I think these should be readily available for both children and adults with fears of needles. I work in the healthcare field and could see this being very beneficial. I wish I could carry these in my purse for when they are not available! I am a true believer in the J-Tip!”

“The J-Tip makes a huge difference in how a child responds to pain, specifically in the Emergency Department. As a Child Life Specialist, it gives me comfort and confidence knowing that we can help take almost all anxiety and fear away from these children during our most common, difficult procedures with the help of the J-Tip. When used correctly J-Tip can change a child’s entire idea and experience of what an IV or poke feels like. We gain trust from our little patients and help their parents feel at ease when they know that we do not want their child in pain, when we offer and use the J-Tip.”

“I used a J-Tip on a 6-year-old boy who needed a blood draw. Not only did he remain still but he didn’t even wince throughout the procedure. The use of a J-Tip takes the pain out of IV insertions for kids and decreases their anxiety, which results in better memories from their experience. I can honestly say that kids don’t feel pain from IV insertion when a J-Tip is used properly. I don’t know why anyone would start an IV on a pediatric patient without using a J-Tip.”

“Our son had been in the hospital an average of nine times a year until he was 6 years old. Each time, the experience with IVs and needles were the worst part of the stays and led to heartbreaking moments for both him and us as parents. We discovered the J-Tip by chance through a friend working at another hospital. We then got to experience it first hand at Iowa Children’s Hospital for a surgical procedure. To see the experience he had with the Jtip and the complete relief of pain and anxiety was enough to motivate us to campaign for it for use at our local hospital. After an almost two year process we were successful. What needle phobia does to kids mental health is real. We experienced it first hand – he is now older and not in the hospital as frequently - but he is so happy that his efforts played a part of bringing the the Jtip to our community hospital to help improve other kids mental and physical health."

“My 9-year-old son has to get MRIs every few months to monitor a tumor in his thalamus. He has a severe fear of getting the IV needed for contrast. He has had to be gassed to have the IV put in while he was unconscious. This made for a long process and a harder than necessary recovery. We came across your product while at Nemours Children's Hospital in Orlando. My son, with the assistance of an amazing nurse, was finally able to face his fear and got the IV put in while conscious for the 1st time. He said he did not feel a thing and had zero pain from the whole process. Next time, he says as long he gets your product he will not hesitate."
