Since it is necessary to obtain a drop of blood to conduct a glucose level study, both at home and in a hospital, an appropriate instrument is needed that meets certain medical and consumer requirements.
So, to get a drop of blood, use a sterile lancet.
Finetest disposable universal lancets meet all the most stringent requirements:
- They are safe because they are disposable and sterile.
- They are very sharp, which allows you to minimize the discomfort when taking blood.
- Finetest lancets have such an ultra-thin needle that there is no additional tissue damage, so blood collection is almost painless, which is very important, especially if it concerns children!
- At the same time, despite such a sharp and ultra-thin needle, the volume of a drop of blood is quite sufficient, so one puncture is enough.
- Versatility. Finetest lancets can be used alone, or in conjunction with most of the most popular brands of lancet devices that are currently available. We recommend using a special lancet Finetest device, which, thanks to the latest improvements, makes the puncture procedure almost painless.
The needle of each Fintest lancet is protected by a special cap. It is easily removed before use. Such packaging makes it possible not only to avoid violation of the sterility of the instrument, but also protects users from injury (punctures, scratches, paresis, unrelated to blood sampling). This makes Finetest lancets even safer and more convenient.
Pay attention to the preparation for blood sampling during glucose self-monitoring:
- It is necessary to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and then dry them. At home, it is not necessary to treat a finger with alcohol, because with frequent alcohol treatment, the skin can become dry and crack
- Before opening the protective cap of the lancet, make sure that it is intact.
- After the blood collection procedure, place the used lancet in a protective cap, do not dispose of it in an open state – it is unsafe!
- Remember that the Finetest lancet is disposable and, accordingly, cannot be reused!
