SYSTEM FOR MULTI-SITE SKIN TESTING AND COMPONENTS THEREOF

摘要

This invention is a system for making multi-site skin tests primarily for us e by allergists making use of a multi-head applicator (5) and a matching multi-well dip well tray (30). The applicator (5) has an elongated handle with arms extending transversely from opposite sides having downwardly extending legs terminating in multi-pointed ends, or heads capable of picking up and retaining small quantities of liquid skin test substances. The multi-point ends or heads occupy the sam e plane and are arrayed in a pattern suited for simultaneous making multi-site skin tests. The applicator (5) cooperates with a multi-wel l dip well tray (30), and with a plurality of dip wells (33) arrayed in patterns which match the pattern in which the multi-pointed ends or heads on the cooperating applicator (5) are arrayed.
