Unistik Touch
Seamless capillary blood sampling
Unistik Touch safety lancets make capillary sampling as simple and seamless as possible
Unistik Touch 1.5mm 30G
Contact activation
With one-touch activation, you simply press the device against the sample site, allowing it to activate automatically under pressure. Once activated, the needle retracts into the body of the device, minimising the risk of re-use, cross-infection and injury.
Advanced technology
Unistik Touch comes complete with Comfort Zone Technology.
Comfort Zone Technology reduces the pain of finger sampling for true peace of mind. When pressed against the sample site, a series of eight raised dots on the platform stimulate the nerve endings. This sends a powerful message of comfort to the brain, masking the weaker pain stimulus from the needle¹.
Benefits
- Unistik Touch is designed to make blood sampling simple and easy.
- Comfort Zone Technology produces a statistically significant reduction in pain2.
- Needle retracts immediately after use to reduce the risk of needlestick injuries.
- Lot number labelling for peace of mind through traceability.
- Contact activation for simple one-touch activation for ease of use.
- The hidden 16G puncture blade has a 1.5mm diameter and a puncture depth of 2.0mm, providing a higher volume of blood for testing.
