Pediatric Lancet Tenderfoot Retractable Push Button Activation Heel

Safe, Gentle, and Effective Heel Incision Devices for Newborns and Infants

The Tenderfoot Pediatric Lancet series by Werfen USA LLC is designed to provide consistent, safe, and less traumatic heel incisions for newborns, preemies, and toddlers. Each lancet uses Sweeping Arc Technology to create a precise incision rather than a puncture, producing a high-quality blood sample while minimizing pain and tissue damage. The permanently retractable blade enhances user safety and prevents accidental reuse.

These lancets feature ergonomic designs for comfortable handling and controlled, targeted activation with a simple push-button. Each model offers different depth and length options tailored for specific patient sizes and ages, ensuring optimal sample collection while reducing discomfort.
