Amkay Blood Lancets - 100 Pcs

This product is a sterile, disposable blood lancet designed for obtaining capillary blood samples. Each unit features a fine gauge needle with a tri-bevel tip, engineered to facilitate a quick and precise puncture of the skin for blood collection. The lancets are manufactured to ensure consistent depth penetration, which is crucial for obtaining adequate blood volume for various diagnostic tests.

Their universal design allows compatibility with most standard lancet devices, making them a versatile option for healthcare settings and home use. The lancets are provided in a sterilized box containing 100 individual units, ensuring sterility and ease of access for medical professionals and patients. The dimensions of the packaging are approximately 8 x 6 x 4 cm, with a total weight of around 50 grams for the box of 100 units.

The material composition is focused on providing a sharp, reliable piercing element for effective blood sampling.

The mechanism of action involves the lancet being loaded into a compatible lancet device. Upon activation of the device, the lancet is propelled forward to puncture the skin, typically on the fingertip. The sharp, precisely angled tip minimizes discomfort during the procedure.

The depth of penetration is standardized to ensure a sufficient blood droplet is formed for collection using a testing strip, such as those used with glucose meters. The disposable nature of each lancet prevents cross-contamination and ensures a sterile sample is obtained with every use.

Key features and benefits include the fine gauge needle and tri-bevel tip, which contribute to a virtually painless sampling experience. The consistent depth penetration ensures reliable blood sample volume, which is critical for accurate test results. The universal design enhances usability by fitting a wide range of lancet devices, reducing the need for specialized equipment.

Each lancet is individually sterilized, maintaining aseptic conditions until the point of use. The packaging of 100 sterilized units offers a convenient supply for regular testing needs.

These blood lancets are utilized by a range of users including medical professionals such as nurses, phlebotomists, and physicians in clinical settings like hospitals, clinics, and diagnostic laboratories. Patients, particularly those managing chronic conditions requiring regular blood monitoring, such as diabetes, also use these lancets at home. Caregivers assisting individuals who require blood sampling also find these lancets beneficial due to their ease of use and safety features.

Typical applications for these blood lancets include self-monitoring of blood glucose levels, as well as other capillary blood tests for parameters such as hemoglobin, cholesterol, and coagulation studies. They are essential components of glucometer kits and other point-of-care testing devices. The ability to obtain a small blood sample quickly and with minimal discomfort makes them suitable for frequent testing protocols.

Important usage notes include ensuring the lancet packaging is intact and undamaged before use, as this indicates sterility has been maintained. After a single use, each lancet must be disposed of properly in accordance with local medical waste disposal guidelines to prevent needlestick injuries and the spread of infection. The lancets should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and kept out of reach of children to ensure safety and maintain product integrity.
