BD Makes Blood Tests Less Scary with its New Fingertip Device

Imagine getting your blood tests done without the fear of needles or the discomfort of a traditional venous draw. That's exactly what BD's (Becton, Dickinson and Company) innovative BD MiniDraw™ Collection System promises. This revolutionary device has recently received FDA 510(k) clearance, paving the way for a more convenient and less intimidating blood-testing experience.

So, what makes the BD MiniDraw™ Collection System so special? Instead of the usual needle prick in your arm, this device uses a simple fingerstick to collect a small blood sample.
