The Confidisc is a plastic disk that fits over the needle of a hypodermic syringe, blocking one's view of the needle. The manufacturer says that this reduces the pain perception associated with self-administered injections.
It was created by a diabetic named Chris Hillios who had faced fears of injecting himself with insulin. By focusing on the disk rather than the needle, he claims it makes self-administered injections so much more easier...
It is truly amazing that a simple device like Confidisc can make such a huge difference in one's life. Our testing has shown that Confidisc not only reduced pain perception, it clearly reduced injection anxiety.He also says that the disk forces the needle into the skin at a 90 degree angle, and promotes proper use.
He offers two types, one is a disc that fits over a syringe, and the other is a syringe with the disk molded on, to prevent intravenous drug use.

It's a disk. Whoopidee-doo!!!
It's the DISC that makes the difference!
Confidisc does make most injections less painful. Most pain is experienced during injection when fear causes hesitation. Pain may also be caused due to instability. Confidisc helps to solve both issues.
In our testing an average person was given a new syringe without confidisc. They hesitated and stopped as soon as the syringe needle touched the skin. They were then given a new syringe with Confidisc. They simply focused on bringing the disk to the skin, completely eliminating hesitation and pain. The disk also provides a stable platform for users.
Please. If you still need this after the one or two injections you need to seek a psychological solution not a medical solution.
I think it will make me more petrified if I seen a disc around my needle. This product is stupid!
