Medi-First Cold Spray Skin Refrigerant Isobutane / Propane Spray, 4 oz.

Painless injections, but be careful. Two to three sprays is enough. Will definitely be purchasing again .

Good performance &longevity

I bought this to use for my guinea pigs and rabbit that I recently got (pretty much all at once) so I’m suddenly playing small animal hospital. I’m constantly lancing abscesses and caring for these crazy, high maintenance animals and after much research read that this spray helps with comfort during my in home procedures. I think it helps, though I’m still a bit of a novice with it so I’m not completely sure. I guess I could have practiced on myself to make sure. Overall, it seemed pretty good.

I had started dialysis due to kidney failure and in the beginning when they stick the needles it can be painful for some. The doctors can prescribe lidocaine cream (numbing cream) but it can be a bit messy and is difficult to wrap plastic around the area. So with this spray you can have a lot more ease. The dialysis tech will spray the area and iit will get cold and sting a little but it feels less painful then without it.Please keep in mind this spray was used to hust get used to getting stuck by the needles. The doctors dont reccomend the spray for long term use because it will dry put your skin. I only reccomend this for just easing yourself with dialysis.

This spray will definitely chill the area of skin you intend to chill. Once you've chilled the skin for a few seconds you will be unlikely to feel the syringe being injected into the skin. That's the good news.The bad news is that it chills so much that the chilling itself probably feels worse than being poked by the needle. It's quite a shock when this cold spray hits the skin and it's easy to overspray your skin and possibly get a frostbite type of condition. But even if you do it properly I think it feels about as bad as a the needle puncture you are trying to numb.So I will stick to using an ice cube wrapped in a thin napkin (to absorb the water as it melts and to protect the skin). This numbs the skin without any pain. It just takes a minute longer than using a spray.So the spray works as advertised, but you may not feel that it's a good trade-off.One other problem is that some of the spray seems to hit the finger you use to press the nozzle, so your finger gets chilled at the same time. This can also be rather uncomfortable.

This stuff if great for burns. I got a can of this an kept it around in our RV. Fortunately I had this one night my son decided at 10 years old he should leap across a 3 foot firing and he tripped and burn the heck out of his leg and it was obviously painful I grabbed this can of spray and sprayed his burn with it from about a half a foot to a half a foot away started him at first but after a while couple seconds 10 seconds 20 seconds he absolutely loved it and it took away the pain of a very serious burn this is something you might wanna have around if you have kids and campfires.

Ok

Have to be careful not to cause frostbite!
