Safety Heel Stick Devices
A collection of capillary blood is obtained by pricking the skin on the heel and collecting a drop or two of blood on a test strip on into a small container. The area is cleansed with antiseptic and punctured with a sharp needle or a lancet. The blood may be collected in a pipette, on a slide, onto a test strip, or into a small container. When using standard needles or lancets this leaves sharps that can accidentally stick a healthcare worker or others. Newer technologies exist that eliminate the sharps injury potential
