Tenderfoot Lancet by Accriva Diagnostics

[Marsha R.]

My institution is preparing to conduct a trial of the Tenderfoot heel lancet.  Has anyone had any experience with these lancets and how have they performed for you?    We are also considering the NeoHeel from Smith Medical.  Thank you for any feedback!

I’ve used both - both work with reasonably good technique. I loved the tenderheel ones when I first started neonates (and I was crap at heelpricks then!)

our hospital then switched to the unistix which are made for adult finger pricks I think, and they were awful so we used to all have secret stashes of the tenderheel ones stolen from various other departments!

Thank you for that information!  This is very helpful.  We currently use the unistick, so very interesting information!

Like @AlexScrivensI have also used both. No real issues with either.
