Point Lengths For Mice: 3mm - for only 1 or 2 drops 4mm - under 2 months 5mm - 2 to 6 months 5.5mm - over 6 months For Rats: 5.5mm - 6 mm Under 3 months 6mm or 7mm - 3 to 4 months 7mm or 8mm - over 5 months Unanesthetized rats can be manually restrained for access to the saphenous vessel. One rear leg is isolated and a scalpel blade used to bluntly remove hair over the vessel. A small amount of Puralube ointment is applied topically prior to pricking the vein with the MEDIpoint's lancet. The Puralube ointment allows the blood drop to remain localized and away from the skin and hair on the leg. Approximately 4 - 5 drops of whole blood (~100 µl) can then be directly collected into a collection tube, prior to sample analysis. Blood flow can be stopped at any time by applying a compress to the site for a few moments. For Saphenous Bleed use a 3mm or 4mm point length.
