There is provided a lancet wherein a lancet cap is composed at least of a grip member and a pricking-component protective member, and the pricking-component protective member has a two-part structure of a flexible part and a rigid part, the flexible part having a relative flexibility with respect to the rigid part, the rigid part having a relative rigidity with respect to the flexible part.

A disposable automatic painless safe hemostix includes an outer casing, an inner sleeve, a needle module and a spring. The needle module is snapped in the inner sleeve and the outer casing. The needle module has a needle point protecting pole. Interlock fixing faces and protrusions are provided on the inner sleeve. Interlock guiding slopes and protrusion stoppers are provided on the inner wall of the outer casing. One end of the interlock engages the interlock fixing face, and the other end engages the interlock guiding slope.

A bodily fluid sampling device is operable to lance with a precise depth and express fluid from both fingertip and alternate sites. In one form, the device is operable to adjust the penetration depth of the lancet into the skin. The bodily fluid sampling device includes a lancet adapted to form an incision in skin. A skin contacting member has an orifice through which the lancet extends when lancing the skin. The orifice has a first opening size that is sized to flatten the skin around the lancet during lancing. The orifice has a second opening size that is larger than the first opening size after the incision is formed to express fluid from the incision.

This assembly includes: a transportable support; a strip attached to the support and including an application area for applying the sample and at least one reagent required for the analysis; a piercing member for piercing the skin and a blood vessel; and a container for collecting, storing and returning the sample of human or animal blood. The piercing member is inserted into the container. The tip is connected to the support. The container is connected to the support in a removable manner between a storage configuration and a use configuration, in which the container is placed close to the application area.

An integrated testing device and method are disclosed. The device includes an integral reservoir for a test fluid, and an actuator, so that the test fluid can be dispensed to facilitate the test.

The present disclosure relates to a blood collection pen, including: a guide sleeve (5); an inner core (2), a front end of which is provided with a needle mounting mechanism for detachably installing a blood collection needle, and a rear end of which passes through the guide sleeve; a needle retraction rod (3) provided through the inner core in an axial direction, a front end of the needle retraction rod being adapted for passing through an inner core hole at a front end of the inner core; wherein: the inn core includes an elastic structure which is adapted for abut against an inner wall of the guide sleeve in the axial direction; and the elastic structure is adapted to abut against the needle retraction rod in a transverse direction to prevent a part of the elastic structure that abuts against the inner wall of the guide sleeve from elastically deforming or moving laterally inward in a case that the blood collection needle is not installed at the front end of the inner core.

The invention relates to a single use lancing device comprising: a housing defining a cavity; a needle assembly comprising a needle and a needle holder, the needle assembly located within the cavity; a release member comprising: a body portion, the body portion having an aperture passing through the body portion along a central longitudinal axis of the release member from a rear opening to a forward opening; and retaining arms; a release member cap configured to be received by the rear opening such that the release member cap at least partially fits within the aperture; and a spring arranged to bias the needle assembly in a forward direction relative to the release member.
