Chris Hillios realized that he had injection anxiety and set out to design a device that would help him overcome that fear. He succeeded and the result is the Confidisc.
A simple little disk that is added to the end of the syringe or needle that blocks the view of the needle point and allows the patient to focus on the disk rather than the needle.
Another added benefit is that its design virtually eliminates the possibility of inserting the needle intravenously because its design promotes a 90 degree injection angle.
The Confidisc also allows a larger range of injection sites and thereby allows better injection site rotation making it easier for patient or caregiver to inject in hard to reach places.
Confidisc is a simple, yet effective, gadget that is used as an aid when injecting insulin or other medication by syringe or pen. "It is truly amazing that a simple device like Confidisc can make such a huge difference in one's life. Our testing has shown that Confidisc not only reduced pain perception, it clearly reduced injection anxiety," said Chris Hillios. "Users focus on the disk rather than the needle."
Confidisc™ was well received by a review of Endocrinologist, Diabetic Educators and Nurse Practitioners. They look forward to having it available for their patients. It is sure to be a beneficial, simple, and affordable product for everyone facing daily injections. Diabetes was our primary concern. However, we can now see that as the self injectable market grows, the uses for Confidisc™ also grows.
