Topical anesthetic sprays are used to temporarily control pain associated with injections, starting IVs and venipuncture, minor surgery, and minor athletic injuries. Here are some details, positive and negative aspects, and ingredients or materials of some topical anesthetic sprays:
Gebauers Ethyl Chloride Topical Anesthetic Spray
- Details: Instant numbing and cooling effect on the surface of the application site by the immediate evaporation of the product from the skin surface.

Each bottle and can of Gebauers Ethyl Chloride contains pure Ethyl Chloride (CSH5CI) with no additives. Sprayed skin can reach a temperature in the approximate range of -11C - 4C.
- Positive aspects: Long-time recognized and preferred instant topical anesthetic for pain control by healthcare practitioners in medical practices including sports medicine, orthopedics, and podiatry. Innovative delivery system allows health care professionals to easily spray the treatment site from almost any angle - even upside down.
