InstaNumb^™

Ethyl chloride should not be used around or in conjunction with cautery, ultrasound, or laser equipment. Insta-Numb is non-flammable and is safe to use in these areas where ethyl chloride presents hazards.

Ethyl chloride should be stored in a safety cabinet according to toxicity and flammability protocols. Ethyl chloride should be disposed of with hazardous waste. InstaNumb contains no hazardous materials and may be stored and disposed of as a normal aerosol.

Ethyl chloride must be shipped as HAZMAT, requires a Department of Transportation HAZMAT fee, and is shipped separately from routine purchased items. InstaNumb is shipped under normal conditions.

They have the same ingredients and overall design. InstaNumb differs by offering a 115 mL canister that sprays at any angle, along with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

These products are clinical and therapeutic equivalents. The dosage, administration, onset of effect, and duration of effect are the same.

InstaNumb Mist serves the needs of practitioners who treat with ‘mist’ sprays. InstaNumb Medium Stream replaces ‘stream’ products.

Practitioners can easily switch to the lower-cost Medium Stream with no change in technique and with minimal concern.

A 115 mL Medium Stream or Mist canister provides approximately 55 applications (at an average of 5 seconds spray time) per container. InstaNumb is also available in a 35 mL Medium Stream or Mist canister.

OTC cold sprays are intended to cool and relieve pain associated with sports injuries such as bruises, muscle aches, and strains. They are for surface use only and should not be used on broken skin. They are butane-based products, making them extremely flammable.  In contrast, InstaNumb is an FDA-approved topical anesthetic spray that can be used on broken skin, minor wounds, and intact mucous membranes. InstaNumb undergoes USP <61> and USP <62> testing to ensure it is clean (aseptic). It can be used after an antiseptic wipe and will not increase pathogen levels at the procedure site. It is non-flammable and non-toxic.

Apply the spray as the last step before performing a procedure. Follow local protocol for cleaning the site with an antiseptic, have all equipment ready for the procedure, and then apply spray before performing the procedure.

InstaNumb should be sprayed on the procedure site at a distance of 3 to 7 inches for approximately 4 to 10 seconds. Average spray times are usually 5 to 7 seconds. If during the spray time the skin turns white or blanches, stop spraying.

The anesthetic effect lasts approximately one minute.

If a procedure takes longer than anticipated, reapply as necessary.

If aerosol can stops spraying due to low volume, rotate the nozzle approximately 1/2 turn. Then, point the spray nozzle at the treatment area and press firmly.
