Safe
Unistik 3 is a single use device ensuring the highest level of safety for healthcare professionals
and patients.
The Unistik 3 needle point is hidden before use and
automatically retracts after use to avoid needlestick
injuries and cross infection.
Unistik 3 has an additional visual lockout feature. Should an attempt be made to misuse the
device, there is a clear indication to the operator that the device has been used and
should be disposed of in a suitable sharps container.
Easy to use
The Unistik 3 range is colour coded for easy recognition. The device is pre-set so simply twist
off the protective sterile cap and Unistik 3 is ready to sample.
Maximum comfort
Owen Mumford’s unique, patented design features a side release button and pre-set lancet speed to
ensure maximum comfort for the healthcare worker and patient.
When pressed against the sample site, a series of 8 raised dots on the platform stimulate
the nerve endings.
This sends a powerful message of comfort to the
brain – masking the weaker pain stimulus from the lancet.
The Gate Theory
Melzack and Wall proposed that stimuli to the brain are
controlled through gates in the dorsal horn of the spinal
cord that process and control sensory information.
When non-painful stimuli are transmitted to the brain,
a gate is opened to allow these comfortable stimuli
through and simultaneously another gate is closed to prevent painful stimuli being experienced.
