Make Doctor Visits Painless For You Or Your Child
Used in over 37 million procedures in 27 countries, Buzzy uses cold and mechanical stimulation to inhibit pain, making injections worry-free and pleasant as can be.
Light, thin and intense, these freeze-solid ice packs come two to a package of 4-chamber packs. Can be placed under braces or clothing for thin anti-inflammatory pain relief.
VibraCool® ice packs are reversible. Face the blue or smooth side of the ice pack toward the skin for more numbing power. If sensitive to cold, the soft white side of the ice pack should face the skin.
Ice packs will stay frozen for 20 minutes at room temperature. For field use, place packs in cooler. *If transporting with dry ice to re-freeze packs and reuse, allow packs to thaw 3 minutes or use white side to avoid cold injury.*
These packs are specially designed for the VibraCool Knee/Ankle. For Flex or Wrist/Elbow units cut pack in half or fold double. For best pain relief when used with VibraCool, the ice packs must be frozen solid to transmit vibration.
Includes
- 2 4-chamber freeze solid ice packs

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How do I use Buzzy?
Buzzy uses vibration and optional cold to reduce needle pain. Placement and timing matter, so follow our step-by-step instructions for the best results. See instructions, videos, and placement guidance here: How to Use Buzzy.
-
Which Buzzy should I choose?
Our current Buzzy lineup includes models for personal use and healthcare settings. Buzzy Personal is designed for individual and family use, while Buzzy Healthcare models are designed for multi-patient clinical settings. Compare the available models, features, and recommended uses here: Compare Buzzy Models or View Buzzy Product Models.
-
Does Buzzy really work?
Yes. Buzzy uses high-frequency vibration and cold to activate the body's own pain-modulating mechanisms and reduce needle pain. Buzzy has been studied in more than 100 clinical studies across procedures and patient populations, making it one of the most extensively studied noninvasive options for reducing needle pain and fear. Learn more about how Buzzy works and explore the research on our Science page.
-
Can Buzzy be reused, and do I need to charge it?
Yes, Buzzy is reusable and can be used again and again. It is not rechargeable—all Buzzy units use two AAA batteries. When the batteries run out, simply unscrew the back of the unit and replace them with two new AAA batteries. Buzzy Personal is intended for individual or family use, while Buzzy Healthcare models are specifically designed for multi-patient clinical environments. Use of Buzzy Personal in a multi-patient healthcare setting voids the applicable warranty.
-
When should I NOT use Buzzy?
Do not use Buzzy in the presence of unexplained calf pain; consult a physician. Do not use over swollen or inflamed areas or skin eruptions, and do not place directly on a thermal burn. Do not use ice that has been cooled with dry ice or in a deep freezer. Do not use the ice pack if you have an underlying sensitivity to ice or cold, such as Sickle Cell Disease, Raynaud's Disease, or diabetic neuropathy.
