Frequently asked questions
Does the needle retract after use?
Yes, this device features an automatic retractable needle mechanism. Once the lancet is activated, the needle retracts permanently into the housing to prevent accidental needlestick injuries and ensure safe disposal.
Will this lancet cause much pain?
These lancets are engineered for patient comfort. The needle is electro-polished and silicone-coated, and the device uses a high-speed puncture mechanism to significantly minimize pain and promote faster healing.
Is this suitable for home use?
Absolutely. While it meets the high standards required for professional clinical environments, its intuitive 2-step push-button activation makes it an excellent, reliable choice for home care capillary blood sampling.
Are these lancets sterile?
Yes, every lancet is gamma-sterilized and protected by an individual sterility tab that keeps the needle protected until the exact moment you are ready to use it.
Can I reuse these lancets?
No, these are strictly for single use only. Do not attempt to resterilize or reuse the device, as it is designed for safety and to maintain sterility for one-time application.
How deep does the needle go?
The needle has a fixed penetration depth of 1.8 mm, which is optimized to provide consistent performance and guarantee adequate blood flow for sampling needs.
Is the activation process easy?
Yes, it is designed for efficiency. It features an intuitive 2-step process that requires minimal firing force, eliminating the need for manual loading and streamlining the entire sampling workflow.
How do I know the correct gauge?
These lancets are blue color-coded, allowing for rapid and accurate gauge identification in busy settings. This specific model is 23-gauge.
Is the needle design reliable?
Yes, the 23-gauge needle is electro-polished to ensure a high-quality surface, combined with a silicone coating to ensure it slides smoothly during the puncture.
Is this a bulk purchase?
Yes, each case contains 2000 individual sterile lancets, providing a high-volume supply suitable for clinical settings or long-term home use.
