100 x Single Use Sterile Safety Lancets (21G) For Blood Testing / Diabetes / Cholesterol Test Samples

Product Information

The higher the gauge of lancet, the smaller the diameter of the needle and possibly less painful to use. When a person has diabetes, their body may not make enough insulin or use insulin as well as it should. Insulin controls blood glucose levels in the human body. The Genteel Plus lancing device is unique in look and design. In fact, it looks like something out of a movie.

These sterile, single lancets are the most technologically advanced, safe and comfortable lancets on the market for the price. This Lancet is the NORMAL Type, which means it can be used for regular everyday use.Suitable for most routine home blood tests as it provides a 23G gauge depth of 1.8mm and average blood volume of 30μL-75 μL Pip looks more like a small tube of lip gloss than a lancing device. Completely self-contained, each Pip lancing system is less than 2 inches long, making it super easy to carry around. Instead of plunging the lancet needle into the skin, when the activation button is pushed, a vacuum is created in the tip, drawing the skin up toward the lancet. This creates separation between the layer of skin where the blood capillaries are and the nerve endings. When the lancet is released, it punctures the skin without reaching the nerves, avoiding causing pain. Do not use the device if the purple sterile cap has been previously removed, as sterility may be compromised.Use only as directed. Consult your healthcare professional for advice. Accu-Chek lancing devices are for single patient use only. The same device must not be used on multiple patients. Mianowska, B., et al. (2020).

Lancet depth: One 2020 study asked participants to use a lancing device at different depth settings. The researchers found that blood volume and pain levels were higher when at the maximum lancing depth. Lancets are designed to only be used once, and then disposed of in a safe way. Using a lancet just once will make it more blunt, and therefore more painful to use. There are a variety of ways of getting rid of used lancets safely as they can carry infection. Some companies sell sharps boxes, and GPs can even prescribe sharps bins to dispose of lancets safely. Generally, lancing devices for diabetes all look very much the same. The devices are small tubes that launch a small needle known as a lancet into the skin to make a puncture that produces a drop of blood. A Diabetes UK initiative called on all professionals to work together to ensure lancet disposal was made easier. The answer is highly personal. Each of us has our own preferences and sensitivities.
