About Spoon Kašika

Kašika je test za trudnoću za jednokratnu upotrebu, dizajniran za kućnu primenu. Oblik je inspirisan kašikom, sa malim mekim linijama i širom površinom u predelu drške. Sve ivice su zaobljene kako bi se postigao prijateljski izgled, s obzirom na to da se test koristi u intimnom i emotivnom trenutku. Deo za hvatanje je nagnut i uvećan radi bolje ergonomije i intuitivne upotrebe. Kašika ima dimenzije 130 x 25 x 10 milimetara i teži 14 grama. Telo je izrađeno od injektiranog bioplastičnog materijala kako bi se smanjio ugljenični otisak, a debljina svake komponente je precizno kalibrisana radi uštede materijala.
