Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly does PainEase work, and how long does it last?

Pain Ease works in 4–10 seconds, and its effect lasts about 60 seconds.

Do you have clinical research to support use for venipuncture/IV cannulation?

A study published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal examined 80 children ages 6-12 who received vapocoolant spray (Gebauer’s Pain Ease) or a placebo before cannulation. The study found PainEase significantly reduced pain, with half of the children who received it reporting “no pain” or ‘minimal pain” compared with 32% of those who received the placebo. Successful cannulation on the first attempt was also more common when PainEase was used (with success in 85% of cases) compared to the placebo, in which 62% of first attempts were successful.

What procedures can we use PainEase for?

PainEase is approved for use as a topical anesthetic to control pain associated with immunizations, IV starts, joint injections, blood draws, incision and drainage of small abscesses, foreign body removal, lancing boils, removing skin tags and suturing or removing sutures.

Can Gebauer's Ethyl Chloride be used on pediatric patients?

Yes, it is safe for use in children 3 years of age and older. It has not been FDA cleared for use on newborns.

What safety precautions should staff follow when using Ethyl Chloride?

Never use it near open flames or electrical cautery equipment. Store in a cool, dry, ventilated area, below 120°F (50°C). Use in a well-ventilated area to minimize vapor inhalation. Spray 3-10 seconds from a distance of 3-9 inches, or until skin just begins to turn white. Overspraying may lead to frostbite or unwanted skin pigmentation changes. Never use on broken or irritated skin or on patients with a history of hypersensitivity to ethyl chloride.

How long does a Cryo Professional treatment take from prep to cleanup?

Treating a patient with Cryo Professional requires only three simple steps and takes only about a minute. First, spray the applicator until droplets form. Allow about 15 seconds for the applicator to reach the effective temperature per the manufacturer's instructions. Apply the applicator to the lesion.

Which patients should avoid using Cryo Professional?

Consult a pediatrician for use on patients 4 years old and younger. Do not use if uncertain of diagnosis or if there is a possibility of cancer, or on patients with cryoglobulinemia, circulatory issues, or patients using immunosuppressant medication.

What is the recovery process for a Cryo Professional treatment?

Patients may experience a mild burning sensation during cryosurgery, but the procedure does not require anesthesia. Healing time depends on the type of lesion, but in most cases, a blister will form after treatment and flatten within a few days. The lesion will then slough off within a few weeks. Some lesion types may need multiple treatment sessions spaced roughly two weeks apart.

Are there any medications in these products?

No. These products are non-drugs and FDA cleared as medical devices for specific indications.
