The Unistik 3 Safety Lancet with Push Button Activation is a medical device used for performing capillary blood samples for various tests, including glucose, cholesterol, PT/INR, blood gas, and other capillary tests. It features a side-firing action to provide extra comfort for both the patient and professionals. Unistik 3 is engineered with Comfort Zone Technology to enhance patient comfort during the sampling procedure. By stimulating nerve endings with a series of raised dots, the lancet provides a more comfortable experience by masking the sensation of needle insertion, thus offering peace of mind to users. The Unistik 3 has a side release button that minimizes downward pressure against the sample site, reducing unnecessary pain for the patient. The needle is hidden before use and automatically retracts after use, helping prevent accidental needle stick injuries and cross-infection.
Features and Benefits:
- Custom Activation: Empowered by an activation button and alignment guide, users have full control over the sampling process, ensuring accuracy and precision.
- Comfort Zone Technology: Prioritizing patient comfort, Comfort Zone Technology ensures a more comfortable sampling experience. Eight raised dots on the platform stimulate nerve endings, sending comforting signals to the brain and masking the sensation of needle insertion.
- Immediate Needle Retraction: Upon use, the needle retracts immediately to minimize the risk of needlestick injuries, promoting safety for both users and patients.
- Lockout Indicator: A built-in lockout indicator prevents reuse of the lancet, ensuring single-use compliance and reducing the risk of contamination.
