BD Microtainer Contact-Activated Lancets, Sterile, 366592 / 366593 / 366594
PRODUCT DETAILS
The BD Microtainer contact-activated lancet is a safety-engineered device used for the fingerstick collection of blood. The lancet enhances user comfort with an ergonomic design for a more comfortable grip. It activates only when positioned and pressed against the skin, facilitating a consistent puncture depth for easier sampling. The lancet covers only a small area at the contact point, which improves the visibility of the desired puncture site. The intuitive procedure reduces training time, and the design prevents product reuse, reducing the possibility of patient, clinician, and/or sample contamination.
