ITP Buzzy Kits

Buzzy Kits use a combination of cold and gentle vibration to help reduce the pain and anxiety of injections or blood tests. They’re especially helpful for children and teens with ITP, but many adults find them useful too.

Whether it’s for regular blood tests, IVIg infusions, vaccinations or other procedures, Buzzy can make the experience a little easier and less stressful.

Is a Buzzy Kit Right for Your Child?

You may be eligible for a donated Buzzy Kit if:

  • You are the parent or carer of a child living with ITP, or
  • You know a paediatric ITP patient who experiences distress during blood draws, injections or IV treatments

If this sounds like your ITP Warrior, you can apply to receive a Buzzy Kit at no cost.

How Buzzy Works

Buzzy uses two simple techniques to help reduce needle pain:

  • Cold helps numb the skin
  • Vibration distracts the nerves
  • Together, they help interrupt pain signals during injections or blood draws

This method is backed by research and used in hospitals, clinics and homes around the world.

What's Included in an ITP Buzzy Kit

Each donated Buzzy Kit includes:

  • 1 Buzzy device
  • Reusable cold wings
  • Instructions for use
  • Activity Pack including Buzzy Stickers

The kit is reusable, portable and easy to use at home or during medical appointments.
