Abstract: A skin test kit and novel injection unit for intracutaneous use. A hollow cannula scarifier is loaded with a fluent test substance through a funnel.
Abstract: A skin testing system for in vivo intracutaneous use which comprises a novel injection unit and multiple applicator means, each of the units carrying biological or chemical substances for skin testing, at least one of the units carrying a plurality of different antigens in admixture. Test substances are deposited intracutaneously by piercing the skin with each injection to predetermined depth; and the pierced skin is observed for response to the various substances and dermographia.Each of the injection units includes a handle portion, hilt portion and a scarifier portion having means for carrying testing substances.The preferred applicator means comprises points carrying groups of admixed allergens selected from tree allergens, mold allergens, grass allergens, ragweed allergens, weed allergens, dust, epidermals and foods together with histamine control, and diluent control.
