Dear old friends, do you still remember the fear of being dominated by doctors when getting vaccinations? When the doctor grabs that devilish needle, at a young age we turn into lambs to be slaughtered. As soon as the needle goes off, I burst into tears~
But now have you ever thought that for us healthy people, that kind of pain may be just a childhood shadow, but for many patients with chronic diseases, such operations are performed every day.
So, in order to alleviate their pain, a medical device company in the United States developed a "gentle" injection tool called Portal.
This is a new type of needle-free syringe. Taking insulin injection as an example, with it, diabetics can no longer suffer cruel needle torture. Portal adopts a handheld design, which is not only easy to operate but also slim. Its compact and easy to carry around.
When a diabetic patient performs daily injection tasks, he only needs to insert the specially designed disposable medicine capsule into the bottom of the Portal.
Then press the injection port on your thigh and press the switch at the same time. There will be a "bang".The injection is complete.
You don’t have to watch the needle pierce the skin or feel it go in and out. It only takes a moment to complete the daily injection task, and the whole process becomes much less painful.
After using up, press the ejection button to eject the medicine capsule
Some friends may be curious about how it is administered. In fact, the principle is very simple. Have you heard of "high-pressure jet"? When the switch is pressed, ultra-high-pressure airflow will be generated inside the Portal, causing the medicinal solution to disperse into extremely fine droplets and quickly penetrate into the subcutaneous tissue.
Because the penetration speed is extremely fast, people will not feel pain. And if injected in this way, the drug will take effect faster than traditional needle injection.
Actually, I didn’t believe the nonsense about “it doesn’t hurt at all” at first! But if you think about it carefully, it seems to make sense, just like people don't feel pain at the moment of injury.
By the way, Portal also has a supporting APP, which can record the physical condition and treatment progress in detail for easy viewing at any time.
In addition, various smart devices can be used to remind you to take injections on time, which can be said to be very considerate.
There are many benefits to using this needle-free syringe. It can not only save patients from pain, but also avoid infections caused by improper use of needles. Moreover, both the injection system and the materials used comply with relevant standards and regulations. It is basically Don't worry about safety issues. However, it should be noted that the Portal is only suitable for subcutaneous injections of drugs, such as insulin, epinephrine, measles vaccine, meningococcal vaccine, etc. Those who need intravenous or intramuscular injections should just accept the injections.
Of course, it is good to save patients the pain of injections, but once it comes to the physical examination and blood drawing, I hope that the trainee nurses can practice injection skills well.
