The present disclosure relates to a capillary blood collecting device which includes a fixing device including an accommodating cavity for accommodating a blood collection finger and a squeezing member for squeezing blood to a fingertip site. The capillary blood collecting device is configured to detachably accommodate at least one skin puncture part on a blood collection side of the finger, and the skin puncture part includes a blood lancet that may be driven to puncture the blood collection finger, such that a sufficient amount of capillary blood quickly flows out from the capillary blood converged at the fingertip under the action of blood lancet.

Described here are meters and methods for sampling, transporting, and/or analyzing a fluid sample. The meters may include a meter housing and a cartridge. In some instances, the meter may include a tower which may engage one or more portions of a cartridge. The meter housing may include an imaging system, which may or may not be included in the tower. The cartridge may include one or more sampling arrangements, which may be configured to collect a fluid sample from a sampling site. A sampling arrangement may include a skin-penetration member, a hub, and a quantification member.

The present disclosure relates generally to devices, systems, and methods for diagnosis and treatment via laser-treated skin and, more particularly, to devices, systems, and methods for inducing leakage or rupture of one or more blood vessels comprising the dermis for various diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Other aspects of the present disclosure can include methods for detecting one or more target analytes in a dermis of a subject, methods for facilitating skin-to-blood delivery of agent in a subject, and methods for collecting a fluid sample from the dermis of a subject.

A reusable applicator for applying a microneedle patch to a skin of a subject which comprises a base for positioning onto the skin. The base comprises a skin-side end and a holder for holding the microneedle patch in position relative to the skin-side end. Two or more contact parts at the skin-side end can contact the skin. One or more are movable over the skin and away from the other contact 5 parts to stretch the skin at least during penetration of the skin by a microneedle of the patch. The applicator further comprises an interface for an actuator. The actuator actuates in operation a movement of the microneedle patch relative to the skin-side end to penetrate at least into the stratum corneum of the epidermis of the skin with the microneedle. A microneedle patch comprises a skin-adhesive surface for attaching the patch to the skin of a10 subject. The patch has one or more microneedles projecting from the skin-adhesive surface out of the patch. A stiffening body stiffens the patch in at least a parallel direction parallel to the skin-adhesive surface in a region of the skin-adhesive surface which includes the microneedle.

A venous access device includes a hub and a bifurcated cannula. The hub includes a bifurcated connecting arm, a blood sampling arm connected to the bifurcated connecting arm, a fluid transfer arm connected to the bifurcated connecting arm, a blood sampling channel and a fluid transfer channel. The blood sampling channel passes through the blood sampling arm and the bifurcated connecting arm. The fluid transfer channel passes through the fluid transfer arm and the bifurcated connecting arm. The bifurcated cannula is coupled to the bifurcated connecting arm and includes a blood sampling lumen having a blood sampling port, a fluid transfer lumen having a fluid transfer port, and a dividing member separating the blood sampling lumen from the fluid transfer lumen. The blood sampling port is 2 mm to 20 mm proximal from the fluid transfer port. The blood sampling channel is fluidly connected to the blood sampling lumen, and the fluid transfer channel is fluidly connected to the fluid transfer lumen.

The present invention relates to an automatic invasive device for body and, more particularly, to an automatic invasive device for body comprising a body press unit capable of pressing a human body part to detect a puncturing position. The present invention also relates to an automatic invasive device for body comprising at least one of a rotatable probe unit, a vacuum tube driving unit, and a body contact material supply unit. The automatic invasive device for body according to the present invention comprises: a syringe needle unit support part that supports a syringe needle that enters the body; and a press unit (500) that presses the body that has a site to be subjected to an invasive procedure.

The disclosed apparatus, systems and methods relate to devices, systems and methods for the collection of bodily fluids. The collector can make use of microfluidic networks connected to collection sites on the skin of a subject to gather and shuttle blood into a removable cartridge. The collected fluid is supplied to substrate for drying, storage and transport.

The present disclosure generally relates to receiving bodily fluid through a device opening. In one aspect, the device includes an interface that facilitates piercing of skin and/or withdrawal of fluid from the skin. The skin may be subjected to vacuum from a vacuum source.

The present disclosure relates to capillary blood sampling. In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a finger lancing device comprising a body having a chamber for receiving a finger and a lancing device comprising a lancing member actuator for actuating a lancing member to lance a finger received in the chamber.
