Lancets for measuring blood sugar
Areas of application and use
Lancets for measuring blood sugar are used for capillary blood collection from fingertips or alternative measuring points as part of routine blood sugar checks, screening measurements and spot checks. They support hygienic work processes through sterile, disposable packaging and reduce cross-contamination risks. In practice, both standardized punctures are used for regular measurements as well as selective measurements for complex processes.
Product types and properties
The category includes different product types and designs that differ in puncture depth, needle size (gauge), tip and mechanics. The typical variants include:
- Sterile disposable lancets in various diameters (e.g. 28G–33G) for minimally invasive puncture strengths
- Safety lancets with retraction or cover mechanism to prevent needle sticks
- Cartridges or refill containers for a suitable lancet changing system
- Lancets with different puncture depths to adapt to skin type and measurement site
