Safety Lancing Devices

 Blood lancets or safety lancing devices are medical instruments used to obtain micro-blood specimens for testing for hemoglobin and blood glucose as well as for the treatment of diabetes. A lancet is similar in appearance to a small scalpel but with a blade or needle. Most lancets are generally disposable. In some cases, lancets are used to prick the skin in allergy tests.
