The One Step 28g Twist Top Blood Lancets are a medical device designed for obtaining blood samples for diagnostic purposes. These lancets are specifically designed with a 28-gauge needle, which refers to the thickness of the needle. The lancet is a small, sterile needle that is used to prick the skin, typically on the fingertip, in order to draw a small blood sample. The twist top feature of these lancets allows for easy and safe handling. It means that instead of manually removing a cap or cover from the lancet, you simply twist the top to expose the needle. This helps in minimizing the risk of accidental needle sticks and ensures the sterility of the lancet until it is ready for use. The 28-gauge needle size is relatively thin, making it less painful for the patient during blood collection. It creates a small puncture wound, reducing discomfort while still providing an adequate blood sample for testing purposes. The lancets are typically disposable, which means they are designed for single-use only, ensuring hygiene and minimizing the risk of contamination. These lancets are commonly used in healthcare settings such as hospitals, clinics, and laboratories, as well as for at-home blood glucose monitoring by individuals with diabetes. They are compatible with various lancing devices, which are devices used to hold and guide the lancet during the puncture process.
