About Spoon Swangerskipstest

Spoon is in swangerskipstest foar ienmalich gebrûk, ûntwurpen foar thúsgebrûk. De foarm is ynspireare troch in leppel, mei lytse sêfte foarmen en in bredere oerflakte foar it hângreepgebiet. Alle rânen binne rûn ôfwurke om in freonlik uterlik te jaan, om't de test brûkt wurdt yn in priveee en emosjoneel momint. It griepgebiet is skean en fergrutte foar bettere ergonomy en yntuïtyf gebrûk. Spoon mjit 130 x 25 x 10 millimeter en waacht 14 gram. It lichem is makke fan spuitgetten bioplastic om de koalstofôfdruk te ferminderjen, en de tsjokte fan elk ûnderdiel is ôfstimd om materiaal te besparjen.
