Ergonomic design
The lancet enhances user comfort with an ergonomic design for a more comfortable grip.
Easier sampling
It activates only when positioned and pressed against the skin, facilitating a consistent puncture depth for easier sampling.
Improved visibility
The lancet covers only a small area at the contact point, which improves the visibility of the desired puncture site.
Intuitive procedure
The intuitive procedure reduces training time, and the design prevents product reuse, reducing the possibility of patient, clinician, and/or sample contamination.
