An option for those who found earlier drips painful in the vein.
The sting of a drip usually comes from the moment the needle goes in and from the fluid being cold. This one numbs the site first or warms the fluid to body temperature to reduce that. What goes in is the same as an ordinary drip; only how it is delivered differs, so the composition is what to check.
Painless IV adjusts concentration and infusion rate to reduce discomfort during infusion. A concentrated fluid going in fast irritates the vein, so it is diluted and delivered slowly to ease the load. The purpose is the same as any other drip — only the delivery differs.
