Tenderfoot® heelstick device produces an incision to a carefully controlled depth that is just above where most nerve fibers are located, but through the rich capillary bed. Result is a high quality blood sample with significantly less pain and trauma to a baby’s tender skin. Once blade is triggered, it retracts permanently back into the device. Accidental sticks are eliminated. Need for repeat sticks are virtually eliminated since each device is carefully controlled to produce an incision at a standardized length and depth. Case is pink and blue. * Preemie: Designed for low birth weight newborns. * Newborn: Designed for newborns birth to 3-6 months. * Toddler: Designed for 6-month to 2-year-old toddlers.
