The Children's Needle Cover was designed with the primary goal of alleviating the fear of injections in young children and thereby preventing the development of needle phobia later in life.

​

This device takes the form of a playful airplane or butterfly-shaped cover that the child can choose before placing it over the needle before the injection process, instantly transforming what can be an anxiety-inducing experience into a more comfortable and engaging one for the child. After the injection is completed, the syringe can be safely disposed of, and the child is rewarded with the cover as a token of their bravery.

​

As they wait, children can also enjoy the added distraction and comfort of watching a small cartoon or reading a book about airplanes or butterflies. This turns what was once a daunting ordeal into a positive and educational experience. The 'Children's Needle Cover' is a small yet impactful tool that aims to make healthcare encounters less intimidating for children and foster a positive attitude towards medical procedures from a young age.
