Zingo is used to provide local anesthesia for minor procedures including intravenous (IV) catheter placement, venipuncture (blood draws), and other superficial dermatological procedures requiring numbness. It is often used in pediatric settings to reduce pain and anxiety associated with needles.
Zingo uses a compressed helium gas system to propel micro-fine lidocaine powder into the superficial layers of the skin, creating a small area of numbness within 1-3 minutes. The lidocaine blocks sodium channels in nerve endings, preventing pain signals from being transmitted.
Zingo is for single use only and must be applied by a healthcare professional. It should not be used on broken skin, near the eyes, or on mucous membranes. Side effects may include redness, itching, or bruising at the application site. Patients with certain heart conditions or lidocaine allergies should avoid use.
