What is the Comfort-in™ System for?
The Comfort-in™ system is a compact, spring-powered technology that delivers various medications by means of a narrow, high-velocity fluid jet, which penetrates the skin in less than a one-third of a second. The Comfort-in™ system has 3 types of injector according to spring power. User can choose an appropriate injector among the 3 types of injector depending on usage.

Healthcare providers who routinely administer injections may use the Comfortin ™ Injection System. It can also be used by patients authorized by their physicians to self-inject, or have other individuals administer injections of prescribed medication. Majority of people who used the system have reported feeling no pain, while some indicated feeling slight pressure, a pinch or a snap at the time of the injection. Overall, user surveys indicate a preference for Needle-free injections over those given with conventional needles. Needle-free technology significantly reduces the fear and anxiety associated with a needle injection. It also eliminates needle-stick injuries, greatly reduces the need for sharps management and disposal costs.
Things to Remember
- DO NOT direct the syringe toward the face or nearby skin when loading the syringe into the injector, preparing to give an injection, or ejecting a syringe after use.
- DO NOT touch the injection button until you are ready to inject into the injection site, otherwise inadvertent firing may occur, resulting in injury.
- Partial insertion of syringe into Injector may damage syringe and/or injector.
- Any of the sites that are normally recommended for conventional needle administration can be used with the Comfort-in™
- Choose an area with some fatty tissue. Avoid areas with a low fat content (e.g. the shinbone) or high muscle content (upper arm) to ensure subcutaneous delivery. When injecting into the abdomen choose areas that are not too soft to prevent from wet shots.
- Improper injection site location or technique may result in injury.
- DO NOT position the syringe directly over a blood vessel. Although injection into the vessel is highly unlikely, injection over a vessel may produce an adverse reaction including, but not limited to, bleeding, bruising, swelling, or tenderness.
