Unistik TinyTouch
Sample right first time
Minimises discomfort for babies1 when performing a heelstick capillary blood sample
The Unistik TinyTouch Preemie
Neonatal capillary sampling
Neonatal capillary sampling has its own unique challenges. Obtaining an adequate sample volume with a single incision, maintaining absolute sterility and minimising discomfort for the baby are top priorities.
Unistik TinyTouch is a heel incision device designed specifically to meet these challenges. A clearly visible alignment guide lets you position the lancet with precision to ensure a quick, streamlined, optimal procedure. The easy-grip, quick-release sterility cap helps keep the blade sterile and reduces the stages required for use. Manual activation enables you to discharge the device with confidence, for the right sample first time.
Providing confidence when it matters most
Our Unistik TinyTouch heel stick lancet is designed to reach only the superficial blood vessels, without penetrating deep enough to reach dermal pain fibres. It features a motion, rather than puncture, blade with penetration depths of 0.85mm for preterm and 1mm for full-term babies. This type of device results in less pain for the baby¹, less distress for the family and more confidence for you.
Benefits
- Alignment guide for precise lancet placement.
- Manual activation button for simple device activation.
- Sterile blade securely sealed into a sterile blade cover to ensure complete sterility of the device until the tab is removed.
Unistik TinyTouch range
