Unistik 3 Neonatal featuring Comfort Zone Technology is an extremely easy and comfortable way to obtain a blood sample. It is designed to ensure the highest level of safety for the healthcare professional and their patients. The Unistik 3 lancet is pre-set and covered with a protective sterile cap. There is no need to load the lancet or prime the device prior to use. You simply twist off the protective cap and the device is ready for use. The Unistik 3 needlepoint is hidden before use and automatically retracts after use to avoid needlestick injuries and cross infection. Unistik 3 has an additional visual lockout feature. Should an attempt be made to misuse the device by trying to re-prime the lancet there is a clear indication to the operator that the device has been used and should be disposed of in a suitable sharps container. The Unistik 3 Neonatal device is designed especially for blood sampling from the babies’ heel with a puncture depth of only 1.8mm. The lancet has Special Asymmetric Grinding to give optimal blood flow and reduced pain for the baby. |

ITC Tenderfoot®
The patented Tenderfoot devices are safe, easy to use, and virtually pain free with less bruising as compared with traditional lancet devices. Incision Technology The Tenderfoot® infant heelstick device uses a highly sharpened surgical blade that swings across the skin in a gentle arc. The incision produced is carefully controlled to a depth that is just above where most nerve fibers are located, but through the rich capillary bed. The result is a high quality blood sample with significantly less pain and trauma to a baby’s tender skin. ITC Incision
Traditional Puncture
Safety Features Once the blade is triggered, it retracts permanently back into the device. Accidental sticks are eliminated. The need for repeat sticks are virtually eliminated since each device is carefully controlled to produce an incision at a standardized length and depth. Range of Sizes With four different models, you can choose the tenderfoot device that best fits each child; available in four incision depths: micro-preemie, preemie, full-term infant and toddler. |
