Multiple-use blood blotting devices for diabetics for use when monitoring blood glucose levels

摘要

A multiple-use blotting device for blotting blood from a fingertip includes a substrate, and a blood absorbing pad secured to the substrate. The blood absorbing pad has a plurality of blood absorbing sections that are evenly spaced from one another. The blotting device includes a protective cover overlying the blood absorbing pad, the protective cover having a window formed therein for exposing the blood absorbing pad. The cover is coupled with the substrate and is adapted to rotate relative to the substrate and the blood absorbing pad for sequentially aligning the window of the cover with each of the blood absorbing sections for exposing, one at a time, each of the blood absorbing sections. After one section of the pad has been used to blot blood, the cover is rotated for exposing a clean, unused section of the pad, while covering the used, blood-soaked section of the pad.

主权项

1. A multiple-use blotting device for blotting blood from a fingertip comprising:
a substrate; a blood absorbing pad secured atop said substrate, said blood absorbing pad having a plurality of blood absorbing sections, wherein said substrate comprises a top surface and said blood absorbing pad is secured to the top surface of said substrate; a cover overlying said blood absorbing pad, said cover having at least one window formed therein for exposing one of said blood absorbing sections, wherein said cover is moveable relative to said blood absorbing pad for exposing a fresh section of said blood absorbing pad through said at least one window while covering a previously used section of said blood absorbing pad.
