WHAT IS CLOAK THE POKE?

Needle phobia affects more than 63% of children worldwide. At Cloak The Poke, we understand that the physical appearance of needles can be frightening and anxiety-inducing for children. 

​​

As a solution, we offer toy needle covers that easily integrate with current needle procedures by clipping onto syringes to disguise the traditional, scary appearance of needles. 

​

Following the procedure, children can keep the toy as a collectible reward for their bravery during the experience. 

​​​

With Cloak The Poke, we are alleviating needle anxiety, creating vastly improved patient experiences, while enabling shorter and more efficient medical appointments for children, parents, and clinicians.

HOW IT WORKS

Cloak The Poke toy needle covers come in a variety of styles and designs. We want children and parents to feel like  they have more control and choice over their needle procedures which is why we encourage children to pick out the styles that they like best. This is also a great opportunity for parents and children to have an informative discussion on how needle procedures work.

​

On the day of their needle procedure, children will bring their toy to their appointment and the clinician will secure the toy onto the syringe prior to administering the vaccination. As the vaccination is administered, children can focus on their toy accompanying them throughout the experience. 

​

Following the procedure, children can keep the toy as a memorable souvenir and reward for their bravery!
