Lancets


    With Unilet lancets, different needle sizes can be used. This helps to make sure that the samples from the blood glucose testing are correct. These lancets can be used with different blood glucose meters.
    The Soft Touch lancet uses a 28 gauge needle with a flat cap. This lancet is good to use for diabetic children. It has been compared to the BD Ultra-Fine lancet. Both lancets are favored in high regard.
    One of the thinnest gauges available in the BD (Becton Dickinson) product lineup is the BD Ultra-Fine II Lancet. The lancets can be purchased in 30 or 33 gauges, with the 33 gauge being the thinner of the two.

    Tenderlett Lancet


    Tenderlett Lancet
    The Tenderlett lancet was made for single use in a lancing device. It is contained within itself, so there is no special procedure needed for operation. The Tenderlett is different in that there is a very small blade that is used to make a small incision in the finger. The incision is done to lessen any pain and prevent possible tissue damage.
    To get your blood flow going and expanding, the BD (Becton Dickinson) Microcontainer Genie Lancet is a good choice. This lancet is safety-engineered and use a variety of sharps (blades and needles) to collect blood. This lancet also protects healthcare personnel from accidents or injury by using a retractable method on the instrument.
