Lancing the finger and heel to obtain capillary blood for specimen collection and diagnostic testing is a painful and tissue damaging procedure. With each lance, there is direct splicing of capillaries along with free nerve endings resulting in an immediate localized pain response and hyperalgesia from the release of pain producing substances. Opioid agonists (morphine, fentanyl, loperamide) have demonstrated significant analgesia when locally injected or topically applied to a site of inflammation/injury in animal models.
