Tenderfoot Pediatric Heel Incision Lancets, 2.5 mm

Tenderfoot Pediatric Heel Incision Lancets, 2.5 mm

The Tenderfoot Pediatric Heel Incision Lancets are designed specifically for safe, effective blood sampling in newborns and infants from birth to 3-6 months. Featuring a 2.5 mm blade length and 1.00 mm depth, these lancets are calibrated to deliver a precise incision suited to a baby's delicate heel, helping clinicians and caregivers obtain adequate blood samples with confidence.

Unlike traditional puncture-style lancets, the Tenderfoot design uses a SoftSweep incision method that performs a gentle sweeping arc rather than a straight puncture. This smoother incision technique is associated with less bruising and supports quicker healing, making the heel stick experience gentler for infants and less stressful for parents and providers alike.

Each lancet features a retractable push button activation mechanism, allowing for controlled, consistent incisions every time. Once used, the blade permanently retracts, reducing the risk of accidental needle-stick injury and supporting a safer environment for both clinical staff and families. With four sizes available to match a range of heel sizes, the Tenderfoot line offers a tailored solution for pediatric and neonatal blood collection needs.

Trusted in hospitals, birthing centers, and home care settings, this pediatric safety lancet combines precision, comfort, and safety in a single-use, easy-to-activate device — helping reduce the need for re-sticking while prioritizing infant comfort.
