Infant Heel Incision Device & Infant Blood Sampling
Nicky® & Little Nicky®

Discovery Diagnostics is the Canadian distributor for the Infant Heel Incision Device & Infant Blood Sampling - Nicky® & Little Nicky®
nicky little nicky infant heel incision deviceUnlike traditional lancets, Nicky® and Little Nicky® slice the skin horizontally, rather than puncturing vertically. Puncturing techniques can cause injury to cartilage or bone.

Nicky provides a standardized incision 2.5 mm long by 1 mm deep for routine blood sampling. Little Nicky® makes an even shallower incision, 0.85 mm deep by 1.75 mm long. Both provide excellent blood flow, with minimal pain and bruising and less risk of injury to the infant.

The revolutionary Tip Tripper can be used with both Nicky® and Little Nicky ® to eliminate tech-to-tech variability in the amount of pressure being applied to the heel. Tip Tripper reduces re-sticks of infant heels due to inadequate sample as wells as sticks that bleed too much.

How It Works
A Nicky® or Little Nicky® is slipped into place in the Tip Tripper and pressed to the baby's prepared heel. The Tip Tripper actuates once the prescribed amount of pressure has been applied. Tip Trippers comes in two standard applied pressure levels, a 1.9 lb for infant heel sampling and 3.2 lb for bleeding times or infant heel sampling.
