Gentleheel® Heel Incision Device Lancet by Cardinal Health

The GentleHeel® heel incision device provides a safe and efficient means for acquiring blood samples from the heels of newborns.

Sterile, single-use and not made with natural rubber latex. GentleHeel® utilizes an automated lancing mechanism that delivers a smooth incision with less trauma to the heel. GentleHeel® features a tri-bevel and hardened stainless steel blade that generates a less traumatic and more accurate incision as well as a welded casing to help prevent accidental exposure to the blade.

In addition to the current GentleHeel® features, the following cosmetic improvements have been added:

Multiple visual indicators reinforce the location of the incision site
New ergonomics design for improved handling
Four distinct colors for easier selection
Welded plastic case prevents accidental exposure to the blade
Permanent blade retraction minimizes possible injury or reuse.
