Tenderfoot® Safety Lancet: Gentle Heel Sticks for Infants
The Tenderfoot® Safety Lancet is the specialized solution for neonatal blood sampling, engineered for maximum comfort, precise incision, and enhanced safety when performing heel sticks on infants.
Key Features & Benefits:
- SoftSweep™ Incision Method: Utilizes a unique sweeping arc motion instead of a harsh puncture, creating a smoother, gentler incision. This results in less bruising and dramatically faster healing, making the experience less traumatic for the infant.
- Precise and Adequate Blood Sampling: The controlled incision design ensures an ample blood sample is reliably obtained on the first attempt, minimizing the need for re-sticking and reducing pain and distress for the baby.
- Optimized for Neonatal Use: Specifically designed for infants from birth to 3–6 months, featuring a controlled depth of 1.00 mm and a length of 2.50 mm to target appropriate capillary beds safely.
- Permanently Retractable Blade: The blade retracts instantly and permanently after use, providing enhanced user safety by preventing accidental needlesticks and simplifying safe disposal.
- Four Convenient Sizes Available: Offered in multiple sizes to accommodate any baby’s heel size, ensuring the proper fit and performance for consistent, high-quality results across the entire neonatal population.
