Alphacheck Heel Incision Safety Lancets

Alphacheck Heel Incision Safety Lancet

Precision safety lancets for gentle heel pricks in newborns and infants, tailored to birth weight and age.

Description

The Alphacheck Heel Incision Safety Lancets were specially developed for safe, controlled, and as painless as possible heel prick blood collection in newborns and infants. Thanks to precisely defined needle gauges and penetration depths, they enable reproducible blood collection tailored to the child’s birth weight and age. Each package contains 20 sterile lancets, which, as single-use devices, meet the highest hygiene standards. The integrated safety mechanism securely retracts the needle after use, reducing the risk of needle-stick injuries for medical staff.
