MiniCollect Capillary Blood Collection System
MiniCollect offers a gentle way to collect small blood samples for analyses.
The system is perfectly suited for young children, geriatric patients as well as patients with fragile veins. MiniCollect is also recommended in situations where venous blood collection proves particularly difficult or contraindicated.
For delicate vein conditions, patients who often have blood samples taken, or people with severe burns, capillary blood collection with the MiniCollect system offers a great alternative to venous blood collection.
The MiniCollect tube includes an integrated scoop, allowing droplets of blood to be collected easily and hygienically. To ensure that the puncture wound can be kept as small as possible while achieving the targeted sample volume there are different lancets with a wide range of puncture depths and blade sizes / needle gauges available.
