Description
Hicks Round Blood Sterile Lancets are medical instruments used for obtaining small blood samples for diagnostic purposes, such as blood glucose monitoring. These lancets feature an ultra-fine, tri-bevel tip designed for a less painful skin puncture, making the process of blood collection more comfortable. Each lancet is sterile and individually packaged to maintain hygiene and prevent contamination, suitable for both personal and professional use.
Ultra-Fine Tri-Bevel Tip: The lancet is designed with a fine, sharp point to help minimise skin discomfort during blood sampling. Sterile and Hygienic: Each lancet is intended for single use and comes in individual packaging to avoid contamination and reduce the risk of infection. Consistent Penetration: The design allows for a consistent puncture depth, which is helpful for obtaining an adequate blood sample. Universal Design: These round lancets are crafted to be compatible with most standard lancing devices available on the market. Medical-Grade Material: The lancets are made from medical-grade stainless steel to ensure reliability.
