Frequently asked questions
Does this lancet help reduce repeat sticks?
Yes. By providing a consistent 1.0 mm depth and 2.5 mm length, this lancet is engineered to provide reliable blood flow, which significantly reduces the need for re-sticking during blood sampling.
How does the safety mechanism work?
Safety is built into the design through several features:
- Push-button activation: Allows for controlled, intentional use.
- Permanently retractable blade: The blade is fully shielded before use and automatically locks after activation, which prevents accidental injury and eliminates the risk of unauthorized reuse.
Can I use this with a heel warmer?
Absolutely. This device is optimized for use with the McKesson Infant Heel Warmer (MFR# 59-45HW). Using a heel warmer prior to the procedure is highly recommended to encourage optimal blood flow and improve the sampling process.
Is the blade suitable for sensitive skin?
The lancet features an extra-thin surgical-grade steel blade designed to create a clean, precise incision. This minimizes trauma to the infant’s skin compared to standard devices, ensuring a gentler experience during blood collection.
Does the design help with site visibility?
Yes, the lancet is specifically designed with a tapered contact surface. This unique shape improves the clinician’s line of sight, allowing for better visibility of the incision site to ensure accuracy during the procedure.
Are these lancets sterile?
Yes, each unit is sterile and designed for single-use to maintain the highest standards of hygiene and patient safety in neonatal and pediatric settings.
What is the incision size?
The lancet creates a standardized incision with a 1.0 mm depth and a 2.5 mm length. These specifications are optimized to balance clinical precision with patient comfort.
Are these single-use only?
Yes, this is a disposable, single-use medical device. The blade is designed to permanently lock after activation, which ensures compliance with safety protocols by preventing reuse.
Is the blade shielded before activation?
Yes. The design includes an integrated safety tab and a fully shielded housing that keeps the blade protected until the moment the push-button is activated, preventing any accidental sticks.
What setting is this best for?
This lancet is professional-grade and ideal for use in:
- Neonatal wards
- Pediatric clinics
- Maternity care settings
