babyLance™ Safety Heelstick Earns ‘Perfect Score’ for ‘10 Golden Rules of Safety’

ATLANTA - Sept. 5, 2013 - PRLog -- SINGAPORE -- MediPurpose™, a manufacturer and master distributor of medical products, today announced the publication of a new white paper, Safe in Common’s “10 Golden Rules of Safety”: How Well Does babyLance™ Safety Heelstick Measure?    The white paper outlines sharps safety advocate Safe in Common’s Top 10 Golden Rules of Safety and evaluates how well the new babyLance safety heelstick adheres to them. Further, it provides references to publications that provide additional background and evidence for the claims and arguments made on babyLance’s behalf for each rule.    “If Safe in Common’s ‘Top 10 Golden Rules for Safety’ can be considered a scorecard for sharps safety devices, the babyLance safety heelstick arguably earned a perfect score, and this white paper explains why we believe so,” said MediPurpose founder and CEO Patrick Yi.    “This does not come by accident,” added Yi. “MediPurpose invested more than a year of research, design, testing and validation into the device—much of it with close collaboration from neonatal nurses. We know of no other heelstick manufacturer that has committed as much time and effort into discovering, implementing and validating the safety and ergonomic features that result in what it intended to be the ‘ideal’ heelstick.”    About babyLance Safety Heelsticks    babyLance safety heelsticks are single-use neonatal heel incision devices (http://www.medipurpose.com/babylance), used for the collection of blood from the heels of infants.    babyLance is available in two models, each with a specific blade penetration:    • babyLance BLP (http://www.medipurpose.com/babylance/babylance-models) (preemie): 0.85 mm depth    • babyLance BLN (http://www.medipurpose.com/babylance/babylance-models) (newborn): 1.0 mm depth    Specifically designed to meet end-user expectations for the ideal heelstick, the new babyLance provides enhanced stability, comfort and ease of use.    To download the white paper, please visit www.medipurpose.com/downloads.    For more information about babyLance safety heelsticks—including no-cost product sample requests (http://medipurpose.wufoo.com/forms/w7x2x3/)—please visit www.medipurpose.com/babylance.    About MediPurpose    Founded in 1999, MediPurpose is an innovative medical device company headquartered in Singapore, with offices in the United States and Europe.    Known for its popular babyLance™ safety heelstick (http://medipurpose.com/babylance), SurgiLance™ safety lancet (http://www.medipurpose.com/surgilance/) and MediPlus™ advanced wound care products (../www.medipurpose.com/mediplus), MediPurpose has leveraged its success in the medical device industry to become a master medical product distributor that provides unique solutions for both medical product manufacturers and distributors (http://www.medipurpose.com/distribution).    MediPurpose's Medical Device Innovation division offers angel funding and developmental expertise for new medical device inventors (http://www.medipurpose.com/innovation/) and innovative medical product companies (http://www.medipurpose.com/innovation/) that seek entrance into new medical device markets.    For more information about MediPurpose’s medical products and solutions for inventors, innovators, manufacturers and distributors, please visit www.medipurpose.com.
