About Spoon Nosečnostni test

Žlica je nosečnostni test za enkratno uporabo, zasnovan za domačo uporabo. Oblika črpa navdih iz žlice, z majhnimi mehkimi oblikami in širšo površino v predelu ročaja. Vsi robovi so zaobljeni, kar daje prijazen videz, saj se test uporablja v zasebnem in čustvenem trenutku. Območje prijema je nagnjeno in povečano za boljšo ergonomijo in intuitivno uporabo. Žlica meri 130 x 25 x 10 milimetrov in tehta 14 gramov. Telo je izdelano iz brizganega biološkega plastičnega materiala za zmanjšanje ogljičnega odtisa, debelina posamezne komponente pa je prilagojena za varčevanje z materialom.
