What is Capillary Blood Collection Techniques about?

This document provides instructions for capillary blood collection from the foot or finger. It describes appropriate puncture sites and techniques to obtain capillary blood samples. The key points are that punctures should be no deeper than 2.4mm on the foot or 3.1mm on the finger to avoid bone damage. The puncture site must be cleaned and warmed prior to collection. Capillary blood provides small sample volumes but is useful for tests like blood smears that do not require anticoagulation.
