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.
