Frequently asked questions
Does the retractable design improve safety?
Yes. The Tenderfoot Pediatric Lancet features a retractable blade that remains fully shielded both before and after the procedure. This design significantly minimizes the risk of accidental needle sticks for both the healthcare provider and the patient.
Is the incision depth optimized for pediatrics?
Absolutely. This device is precision-engineered with a fixed 2.0 mm depth, which is specifically calibrated for pediatric heel sticks. This ensures consistent blood flow while minimizing trauma to the site.
Is the activation mechanism easy to use?
The lancet uses an intuitive push-button mechanism. This design allows healthcare professionals to perform the blood collection procedure quickly, reliably, and with minimal physical effort.
Are these lancets safe for sterile clinical use?
Yes, each unit is individually sterile and intended for single-use. This ensures high hygiene standards and full regulatory compliance within clinical and laboratory environments.
What is the blade size for this model?
This specific model is configured with a 3.0 mm blade width. This dimension, paired with the controlled 2.0 mm depth, is optimized to facilitate efficient blood sampling for neonatal and pediatric patients.
Is the device designed for a stable grip?
Yes. The housing features horizontal ridges that provide a secure, tactile grip for the operator, ensuring stable placement against the patient’s heel during the incision process.
How many units come in a standard box?
Each box contains 50 individual Tenderfoot Pediatric Lancet units, providing a sufficient supply for clinical settings.
Is this device meant for multiple uses?
No, this is a disposable, single-use medical device. It is designed for one-time use to maintain sterility and patient safety standards.
Can this be used for adults as well?
While the device is specifically engineered for pediatric and neonatal blood sampling, it is classified under the HCPCS code A4259 for specialized blood collection requirements.
Is the device easy to position during the procedure?
Yes, the base of the device is specifically shaped to facilitate stable and accurate placement against the patient’s heel, helping the practitioner achieve a precise incision every time.
