Pressure-activated Safety Lancet

A pressure-activated safety lancet is a medical device used to puncture the skin and collect a small blood sample for testing purposes. It is often used by healthcare professionals and individuals with diabetes who need to monitor their blood glucose levels.The NPA Solit is a specific brand of pressure-activated safety lancet. It is designed to be easy to use, with a simple one-click mechanism that punctures the skin and allows for the collection of a blood sample. The safety feature on the lancet is activated automatically once the required pressure is applied, which helps prevent accidental needlestick injuries.Pressure-activated safety lancets are usually disposable and come in a variety of sizes and styles to suit different skin types and testing needs. They are also available in different gauge sizes, which refers to the thickness of the needle. Thinner needles may be less painful but may not be suitable for all testing purposes.It is important to follow proper lancet safety techniques, such as using a new lancet for each test, disposing of used lancets in a sharps container, and washing hands before and after testing, to avoid the risk of infection or injury.
