Good News for Needle Phobes

SonoPrep is a nice alternative for needles (and anesthetics required). It serves the same purpose as any needle/injection/cannula without piercing the patients hence pain-less and not requiring any anesthesia prior to application.
Sonoprep sends ultrasound waves into the skin. The waves create microscopic pathways through the skin. Then a doctor applies lidocaine, which seeps in quickly." None of us likes to hold children down for injections", says Mayo Clinic anesthesiologist John Abenstein.

Sono prep might also be used for needle-free vaccines.
