Metropolis Healthcare Limited, one of India’s leading diagnostic service providers, has launched the innovative UltraTouch™ Push Button Blood Collection Set (PBBCS), a first-of-its-kind technology in the country. This cutting-edge device features a thinner needle designed to significantly reduce insertion pain, making blood collection more comfortable, particularly for first-time patients, children, and senior citizens. The introduction of UltraTouch™ aligns with Metropolis Healthcare’s mission to improve patient care through innovation and technology.
Speaking on the launch, Mr. Surendran Chemmenkotil, Chief Executive Officer, Metropolis Healthcare Limited, stated, “We are proud to introduce the UltraTouch™ PBBCS as a step forward in our commitment to patient-centric diagnostics. This advanced device not only enhances comfort but also ensures the highest standards of safety and accuracy during blood collection. By addressing pain and anxiety often associated with the process, we aim to transform the diagnostic experience for patients of all age groups.”

Blood tests play a pivotal role in healthcare, influencing over 70% of clinical decisions. However, many individuals avoid blood tests due to fear of pain and discomfort. A study conducted at Metropolis Healthcare’s Global Reference Laboratory in Mumbai and published in the Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences (JEMDS) highlighted the impact of the UltraTouch™ PBBCS. The month-long evaluation revealed that over 90% of participants reported minimal discomfort, with no evidence of hemolysis. Moreover, key laboratory parameters, including potassium, iron, and haemoglobin levels, remained consistent, ensuring the reliability of test results.
