NeatNick 2.0 has all the improvements you've been waiting for, including an easy-to-remove pull ring and easy-to-see arrow! Looking for a less painful lancet that offers great blood flow and saves money? Meet NeatNick Sweeping Action Heel Lancets.   Faster blade speed means less pain for babies Smooth firing – does not “jump” Clean-edged incision closes up fast with just light pressure Controlled depth comparable to other brands Bright tropical colors make it easy to find Preemie and Full-term sizes Reduces Newborn screening reject rates and reduces hemolyzed samples (Independent studies, May 2009, on file.) Engineered for Accuracy and Precision Jagged edged incisions are more painful and take longer to heal. NeatNick’s precision, high speed blade creates a clean-edged incision. Incision is enlarged approximately 20 times actual size. NeatNick’s automated sweeping blade achieves a controlled depth of incision that is significantly safer than what medical literature has designated as acceptable depths of puncture for preterm and term infants.(1-3) Its controlled depth level is comparable to other automated heel lancets,4 yet it is designed to minimize infant pain through a high-speed nick and greater precision. 1.
