Lancets

Lancets are small, sharp needles that are used to prick the skin and draw blood. They are commonly used by people with diabetes to test their blood sugar levels, but they can also be used for other medical purposes, such as cholesterol testing and allergy testing.

Lancets are typically made of stainless steel or plastic and are available in a variety of sizes. The size of the lancet that is used will depend on the purpose of the blood test and the thickness of the person’s skin.

Lancets are typically single-use items and should be discarded after each use. This is to prevent the spread of infection.
