<ul> <li>The blue lancet (#366594) penetrates 2.0-mm and blade width is 1.5-mm.</li> <li>The 21 gauge pink lancet (#366593) penetrates 1.8-mm.</li> <li>The purple, 30 gauge lancet (#366592) penetrates 1.5-m</li> </ul>
Different types of lancets are needed to accommodate different needs, blood volume, and patient types.
The contact activation method facilitates a consistent puncture depth, and minimizes the likelihood of having to repeat the puncture. It covers only a small area at the contact point, resulting in improved visibility of the puncture site for the clinician. Its innovative ergonomic design allows for a more comfortable grip. The lancet automatically retracts into the device, which prevents the lancet from being reused and minimizes the possibility of needlestick injury. In addition, the lot number is laser etched on each lancet for easier tracking.
The volume to be collected is always dependent on both the safety lancet and the patient. Consult the package insert for full range of recommendations.
