Product Description

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. 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. With four different models, you can choose the tenderfoot device that best fits each child, from the early premature infant to the toddler.
