Frequently asked questions
Does this device reduce infant discomfort?
Yes, the Tenderfoot lancet is engineered for a virtually pain-free procedure. It features a standardized blade depth of 1.0 mm, which is specifically calibrated to remain above the nerve fibers that register pain, significantly minimizing discomfort for the infant.
Is the activation process reliable?
The device utilizes a push-button activation mechanism. This design is focused on ease of use for healthcare providers, ensuring consistent and controlled performance with every single application.
How does the safety mechanism protect users?
Safety is a primary design feature. Once the incision is made, the 2.5 mm blade automatically and permanently retracts. This mechanism is critical for reducing the risk of accidental needle sticks for both the practitioner and the patient.
Are these lancets suitable for one-handed use?
Yes, the lancet features a compact, ergonomic design with a textured surface, making it specifically suitable for one-handed operation during clinical blood collection procedures.
What is the blade depth of this device?
The Tenderfoot lancet is designed with a precise 1.0 mm depth setting. This standardized depth is essential for achieving a high-quality sample while maintaining the comfort of the infant during the collection process.
Are these devices sterile for clinical use?
Absolutely. Each lancet is factory new and sterile. They are intended for single-use application to ensure complete medical hygiene and compliance with standard clinical safety requirements.
What is the incision method used?
This device utilizes a blade incision rather than a needle puncture. The blade incision provides a clean, controlled cut that facilitates efficient blood flow while being less traumatic for the infant’s delicate heel tissue.
How many units are included per box?
The Tenderfoot Pediatric Lancets are sold in convenient boxes of 50 individual units, ensuring a steady supply for medical settings.
Is this device specifically calibrated for heels?
Yes, it is specifically calibrated for pediatric heel applications. Every aspect of the device, from the grip to the blade depth, is optimized to meet the unique requirements of infant blood collection.
Does the design prevent reuse?
Yes. Due to the permanent retraction mechanism that triggers immediately after the incision, the device cannot be reused. This design ensures that each lancet is used strictly once, maintaining sterility and safety protocols.
