Might not be the best of pictures, But anyway :

Therel ike a new way of getting vaccines(sp?) Without needles.
Im petrified of needles and cant wait for this thing to come out.
It fires minute pills through your arm or somewhere and it enters your bloodstream. Many people have been saying its practically painless.

" The MicroJet uses an electronic actuator to propel medication through the skin of a patient without the device touching the skin and at a much lower pain level than a needle. It improves on current designs by offering greater control over the volume and speed of drug delivered. This is achieved through a tunable electronic circuit that offers a finer level of control than other air- and spring-powered models currently on the market. "

Sounds expensive and pointless.

There not really pointless, Some people are terrified of needles, with this, they still get hwat they need, without the fuss.

I have a phobia of needles, I'd love these so much.

It like metal steel then rubber then, then you stab it to the leg :S (not needle - it rubbery)

[Shawnstra]

Lol I am not really afraid of needles, but come to think of it, its like injuring yourself. So nice new gadget :)

[Anarchy]

I think theres a spring loaded one already on the market.

But the gas one is still in construction.

[Johno]

Yeah, This is basically a high pressure thing that forces it through your skin into your bloodstream (I believe)

But my Epipen is fine as it is because you cant see the needle, You just use a stabbing action into your leg and a small needle goes into your skin and it administers the drug.

We got epipen posters in our school, Well instructions of how to use them, I thought it was some new thing to play around with and get adrenaline rushes from.

What does it mean "less painful than a needle"

needles don't hurt..., it's the medication that makes your arm ache.

[Virgin Mary]

^ what I was thinking. Needles don't hurt at all.
