Medical Stress Shapes
Printed medical stress shapes are moulded from polyurethane foam into things you'd spot around a hospital, pharmacy or lab. Pill capsules come in several two-tone colour combinations and sit beside flat tablets, a pill bottle and an adhesive plaster. The clinic side brings in a syringe, a beaker and a wheelchair, while a DNA double helix, a green germ, a world heart and a sperm shape cover the science angle. Characters add personality, with doctor, nurse and physician figures in white, pink, purple and brown colourways. Bears themed as doctors, nurses and physicians join a doctor-themed cow and a pill that doubles as a nurse. Every shape is a soft adult squeeze piece rather than a toy, and some carry a choking warning for children under three.
A ward nurse coming off a twelve-hour night shift just wants something to do with her hands during handover. The germ shape the infection control team left at the nurses' station does the job. She squeezes it through the patient list, puts it down, and her colleague picks it up next. Other fun ideas live in our novelty stress balls range.
Most styles can be printed, and a few can be done with a full colour digital print for detailed artwork. Print on branded medical stress shapes wears gradually with heavy squeezing, which is worth knowing for shapes headed to busy wards.
Frequently Asked
Which printed medical stress shapes suit hospital wards and nurses' stations?
The syringe, beaker and wheelchair shapes match ward and clinic work, so they sit right at home on nurses' stations. Doctor, nurse and physician bears in brown and white add personality for staff after something less serious than a human figure.
What's the difference between the capsule and tablet shapes?
The capsule is a rounded two-part pill in two-tone colours, while the tablet is a flatter medical tablet shape. Capsules come in several colour combinations, and one blue and white style mirrors a familiar medicine capsule look.
Which character shapes come as bears?
Doctor, nurse and physician bears are the bear styles, finished in brown and white. A doctor-themed cow sits with them as another animal option for anyone after something less serious than a human figure.
Are these suitable for children?
No, they're designed as adult stress relievers and aren't suitable for children or animals. Many styles carry a choking hazard warning for kids under three, so keep them on desks and counters away from little hands.
