Easy Touch Pressure Activated Safety Lancets are
sterile, single-use medical devices used for capillary blood sampling.
They are designed with a built-in, pressure-activated mechanism that
automatically retracts the needle after use, preventing accidental
needle-stick injuries and cross-contamination. Unlike traditional
lancets, they do not require a separate lancing device. Key features
- Pressure-activated: The lancet releases and retracts the needle with a simple press against the skin, ensuring a consistent and rapid puncture.
- Shielded needle: The needle remains covered both before and after use, which maximizes safety for both the user and the patient.
- No lancing device needed: These all-in-one devices are pre-loaded and ready to use, eliminating the need to handle a separate, reusable lancing device.
- Optimal comfort: The lancets feature a triple-beveled, ultra-sharp needle for a smoother and less painful puncture.
- Gamma-sterilized: Each lancet is sterilized by gamma radiation to ensure optimal sterility and reduce the risk of infection.
- Color-coded: The lancets and their packaging are color-coded by gauge size, making it easy to identify the correct needle for the required blood flow.
- Single-use: The one-time-use technology prevents the lancet from being reused, protecting against the transmission of infectious diseases.
How to use
Using the
Easy Touch Pressure Activated Safety Lancet
