" ... Its so nice to test on his arm! ... "
" ... Tougher skin may need the purple which is what I use for me dog and is the deepest puncture, but there are caps for lesser depth, which will probably work well on sensitive skin, and children I would think. ... "
" ... With Genteel you don’t have to worry about that you REALLY DONT FEEL the needle. ... We also like that you can test on other areas of the body. ... "
" ... The vaccum is so useful, nothing like getting the perfect drop. ... "
" ... excellent engineered product. ... "
" ... So with a tiny, thin needle like the tiniBoy, a "stronger" ring on the Genteel device is going to draw more blood (the purple ring is the strongest). ... "
