Product Description

Overview

The BD Microtainer Quikheel Pediatric Heel Lancet (2.5 mm blade, retractable, push-button activation, teal) is a single-use safety lancet engineered for capillary blood collection from neonatal and infant heels. The 2.5 mm blade is sized to access the calcaneal capillary bed without striking bone, while the auto-retract design eliminates needle-stick risk for the clinician once the heel-stick is complete. A teal-coded handle distinguishes the 2.5 mm pediatric heel size from BD's other Microtainer Quikheel options at a glance, supporting depth-correct selection in NICU and well-baby workflows. Distributed by McKesson under SKU 366414 (manufacturer reference 368101), this is the standard 50-count box for hospital newborn-screening, NICU, and outpatient pediatric phlebotomy programs.

Key Features & Benefits

  • 2.5 mm pediatric blade depth: Calibrated to reach the heel's capillary network without contacting calcaneus, helping prevent osteomyelitis and bony pain.
  • Retractable surgical blade: Snaps fully back inside the housing after use, eliminating needle-stick exposure during disposal.
  • One-handed push-button activation: Allows the phlebotomist to stabilize the infant's heel while triggering with the thumb of the same hand.
  • Optimized incision geometry: Maximizes blood flow with a single quick stroke, reducing the need for repeat sticks.
  • Pain-minimizing design: The fast strike and shallow incision are documented to lower pain response in newborns versus traditional manual lancets.
  • Teal color coding: Identifies the 2.5 mm pediatric heel option in mixed Microtainer Quikheel inventory bins.
  • Single-use sterile: Individually pouched lancets meet CLIA and OSHA single-use requirements for capillary collection.
  • BD manufacturing standards: Industry-trusted IVD safety device with audited lot-level quality.
  • Compatible with BD Microtainer collection tubes: Pairs naturally with capillary blood collection tubes for newborn-screening panels.

Usage & Application

Pre-warm the infant's heel with a warm compress for 3-5 minutes to vasodilate the capillary bed and improve sample yield. Don gloves, clean the heel with an alcohol prep pad, and let dry completely. Position the lancet flush against the lateral or medial plantar surface of the heel - never the curved posterior - and depress the push-button to activate. Allow gravity flow into a BD Microtainer collection tube; gentle intermittent pressure may be applied at a distance from the puncture but avoid milking, which causes hemolysis. Apply a sterile gauze with light pressure until bleeding stops, and discard the spent lancet immediately into a sharps container.

User Experience

NICU nurses and outpatient pediatric phlebotomists describe the BD Microtainer Quikheel as the gold standard for newborn-screening sample collection thanks to its consistent depth and clean blade retraction. Parents report less infant crying than with manual lancets because the strike-and-retract action is over before the infant fully registers the stimulus, and lab techs note higher first-stick success rates due to the calibrated incision geometry. The teal handle makes selecting the right depth straightforward in mixed-age clinic settings.
