The International Technidyne Tenderfoot Heel Lancet is a device specifically designed for allowing a puncture to be made on the heel of a newborn baby or a toddler with the help of a quick incision to minimize the pain. Because reducing the need for re-sticks is a priority for all involved, the safe and gentle incision is effective enough to draw blood on the first try.
The Tenderfoot Lancet for Newborns is quicker than most lancets on the market. The sweeping motion of the blade is easier and is less painful than most lancets with a needle option. A smoother transition allows for the area to heal quicker and reduces bruising. A precise incision is also helpful in providing adequate blood for sampling. In most cases, if the other options such as needles cannot provide a precise incision, then a second poke will be needed -- the Tenderfoot Heel Lancet reduces these re-stick possibilities.
The Tenderfoot Heel Lancet for Toddlers comes in four different sizes to accommodate any baby heel that needs to be used for blood sampling. Safety is also included with the lancet. Once the Tenderfoot is placed on the heel position and used, the blade will retract into the casing and stay there permanently, keeping staff and young patients safe from accidental pokes.
