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

Product Information

Suggested test areas e.g. cholesterol, Haemoglobin (Hgb), diagnostic kit tests such as cardiac enzymes 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. Select the desired penetration depth only after removing the sterile cap and choose the depth you require by turning the depth adjuster * FastClix ® lancets are preloaded in a small drum. Individual lancets cannot be seen or touched, therefore this may be more suitable for children and those with visual impairment, dexterity issues, or significant needle phobia.
