The BD Microtainer contact-activated lancet is a safety-engineered device used for the fingerstick collection of blood. Fingersticks should not be performed on children less than 1 year of age (according to CLSI guidelines).

Enhances User Comfort

• Has an ergonomic design for a comfortable grip
• Is easier to hold during the puncture
• Provides greater confidence while handling the product
• Minimizes slippage that may occur during product activation

Activates on Contact

• Activates only when it is positioned and pressed against the skin
• Facilitates a consistent puncture depth for easier sampling
• Minimizes the possibility of device activation when not in contact with the skin

Improves Puncture Accuracy

• Covers only a small area at contact point, which improves visibility of the desired puncture site
• Provides greater accuracy of lancet positioning when performing the puncture

Simplifies the Procedure

• Lancet activates in one step
• Puncture depth is independent of the clinician's technique

Promotes Clinician and Patient Safety

• One-step activation promotes safety with fast, precise, and consistent punctures
• Design prevents product from being reused, reducing the possibility of patient, clinician, and/or sample contamination
• Automatic retraction of lancet into device minimizes the possibility of injury
