ABSTRACT:
A disposable device for making an incision in the skin of a human or animal by a retracting blade member that selfretracts after the incision is completed for bleeding time determinations, is disclosed. The device comprises a housing, a hammer mechanism pivotably positioned within the housing and including a cam surface, and a selfretracting shuttle supported within the housing and including a cam follower surface, the shuttle operative to travel in a vertical direction by (i) the movement of the cam surface along the cam follower surface and (ii) the force exerted on the shuttle by a first spring extending from the shuttle. Secured on the shuttle is a cutting surface {(blade(s)} operative to move out of the housing to make the incision and then selfretract into the housing. A second spring is operative to exert a force on the hammer to cause it (i) to move along the cam follower surface to cause the shuttle to travel downwardly thereby causing the blade to travel out of the housing and make the incision, and (ii) to move into a locked position to thereby secure the blade within the housing after the blade has retracted back into the housing due to force exerted by the first spring.
