SYSTEMS AND APPARATUS FOR NEEDLE-PENETRATION PAIN MANAGEMENT
First Claim
1. A needle-penetration pain management system for managing needle penetration pain, the needle-penetration pain management system comprising:
- (a) a needle-penetration assembly including a needle, the needle having a proximal end and a distal end;
(b) an encasement apparatus including;
(i) a housing, the housing having a front surface, a rear surface, and a base, wherein the housing at least partially defines an interior chamber for installing the needle-penetration assembly at least partially therein,(ii) a stimulation generator for producing stimuli, the stimulation generator being coupled with the housing, and(iii) an actuator in communication with the needle-penetration assembly for causing the needle to puncture a skin surface of a user in response to actuation.

Abstract
A needle-penetration pain management system for managing needle penetration pain can include a needle-penetration assembly including a needle, the needle having a proximal end and a distal end, an encasement apparatus including a housing, the housing having a front surface, a rear surface, and a base, where the housing at least partially defines an interior chamber for installing the needle-penetration assembly at least partially therein, a stimulation generator for producing stimuli, the stimulation generator being coupled with the housing, and an actuator in communication with the needle-penetration assembly for causing the needle to puncture a skin surface of a user in response to actuation.

18. A needle-penetration pain management system for managing needle penetration pain, the needle-penetration pain management system comprising:
-
(a) a needle-penetration assembly including a needle, the needle having a proximal end and a distal end; (b) an encasement apparatus including; (i) a housing resembling an animal, the housing having a front surface, a rear surface, and a base, wherein the housing at least partially defines an interior chamber and an aperture in the base for installing the needle-penetration assembly at least partially therein, (ii) a first chamber, defined by the housing, for the storage of materials; (iii) a first stimulation generator for producing a vibrational stimulus, the first stimulation generator being coupled with the housing, wherein the first stimulation generator is selectively adjustable between a plurality of modes of vibrational stimuli, (iv) a second stimulation generator for producing a visual stimulus; (v) a third stimulation generator for producing an audible stimulus; (vi) a transmitter, a receiver, and a controller associated with the housing, wherein the transmitter and the receiver are configured to communicate with a remote device over a network; and (vii) an actuator in communication with the needle-penetration assembly for causing the needle to puncture a skin surface of a user in response to actuation. - View Dependent Claims (19)
