A new approach to understanding 
your health

The SheMed blood collection device works by sticking the red button to the skin with a light adhesive. When the button is pressed, a vacuum forms and a small lancet pricks the surface of the skin. The vacuum draws blood out into the collection tube attached to the bottom of the red button, collecting less than one teaspoon of blood (about 6mL). Check out our educational video for more guidance.
