Frequently asked questions
How does the pressure-activated trigger benefit the patient?
The pressure-activated trigger is designed to provide consistent and controlled penetration depth, which helps ensure a reliable sample while minimizing tissue trauma and patient discomfort.
Does the needle retract automatically after use?
Yes, these lancets feature an automatic retraction mechanism. Immediately after the device is activated, the needle is pulled back into the safety housing to help prevent accidental needlestick injuries.
Are these lancets ready to use out of the box?
Absolutely. The lancets are pre-loaded and ready for immediate use, which eliminates the time-consuming step of manual device loading and preparation in busy clinical environments.
What is the puncture depth for this model?
This specific 26-gauge blue variant provides a penetration depth of 1.8 mm, which is optimized for standard capillary blood collection.
Can these be resterilized and reused?
No. These are single-use medical devices. For the safety of the patient and the integrity of the sample, they must not be resterilized or reused.
Is the 26-gauge needle suitable for routine blood testing?
Yes, the 26-gauge needle is designed specifically for standard capillary blood sampling. It utilizes a tri-bevel tip to ensure a clean, precise puncture for consistent blood flow.
Are these color-coded for easier identification?
Yes, these lancets use a blue color-coding system. The blue cap and trigger component help clinicians quickly identify that this is the 26-gauge version, reducing the risk of using the wrong gauge during testing.
Are these lancets appropriate for high-volume clinical settings?
Yes, they are specifically engineered for clinical, hospital, and diagnostic laboratory settings. With 2,000 units per case, they are designed to support environments that require high volumes of efficient, safe, and sterile testing components.
How is the needle designed to minimize pain?
The lancet uses a high-quality tri-bevel needle tip. This specific geometry is designed to pierce the skin cleanly and efficiently, which helps to minimize tissue trauma during the sampling process.
Is the design ergonomic for the healthcare provider?
Yes, the device features an ergonomic, droplet-shaped silhouette that provides a secure, comfortable grip. This design helps the clinician maintain control and stability during the pressure-activated sampling process.
