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 blood lancet device comprising a housing having one end formed as an opening; a sliding sleeve having one end extending from the opening to the outside of the housing; a blood lancet including a needle body and a needle tip arranged at one end of the needle body, the sliding sleeve being bushed at the outside of the housing, said blood lancet adapted to move relative to the sliding sleeve so as to expose the needle tip at the opening; and a biasing member having one end securely fixed with another end of needle body.

The present invention relates to a device for collecting body fluids including (a) a fluid receiving part including a fluid receiving space in which an internal low pressure less than an external atmospheric pressure is formed; (b) a fluid collection part including a hollow microstructure connected to form an open system with the fluid receiving space of the fluid receiving part; and (c) a microstructure hollow barrier for blocking the hollow of the microstructure to maintain the internal low pressure formed in the fluid receiving means.

The disclosure discloses a single-handed operable infant heel blood sampling device and its safety mechanism, including a push-pull rod and an actuating rod partially extending outside the blood sampler housing; the actuating rod has a second hook portion that can engage with the first hook portion; to perform blood sampling, push down the push-pull rod to disengage the buckle portion from the housing, causing the first hook portion to engage with the second hook portion on the first end of the actuating rod; then pull up the push-pull rod to pull the actuating rod, and the actuating rod thus releases a pre-compressed spring set inside the blood sampler housing, allowing the blade originally positioned in a first position inside the housing to slide out from a cutting port and then be retracted into a second position inside the housing.

Two or more contact parts are movable over the skin and away from each other to stretch the skin. The applicator further comprising an interface for an actuator. The actuator actuates 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 comprising a skin-adhesive surface for attaching the patch to the skin of a subject. The patch has one or more projecting microneedles. 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 lancing device for infant with safety rotating and unlocking push-shooting button is provided. The push-shooting button is exposed and occupies two position attitudes. A first attitude is an insurance lock-out state that the push-shooting button is locked to avoid an undesired trigger before actuation, and a second attitude is a state that leaves away from the first one attitude where the push-shooting button is readily loaded to be launched. Under the insurance lock-out state, the push-shooting button is locked and moves only by a rotation. Firstly, the button is rotated and loaded to a to-be-launch state. Then, the button is pressed inwards and an edge lancing mechanism is actuated with a blade projecting from a lancing opening of the shell to cut and retract back into the shell. The whole blood collecting procedure is finished.

The lancet device includes a housing and a lancet having a puncturing element. The lancet is disposed within the housing and is adapted for axial movement between an initial or pre-actuated position wherein the puncturing element is retained within the housing, and a puncturing position wherein the puncturing element extends through a forward opening in the housing. The lancet device includes a drive spring disposed within the housing for biasing the lancet toward the puncturing position, and a retraction or return spring for returning the lancet to a position within the housing where the puncturing element is disposed within the housing. The retraction spring thereafter maintains engagement with the lancet to assist in preventing the puncturing element from again projecting outward from the forward opening in the housing.

A blood sampling device (1) comprising a housing (10) and a lancet (50). The housing has a fixed abutment surface for holdingly engaging the lancet in a rearward primed position. The blood sampling device further comprises a trigger (22) moveable from a rest position to a fire position to release the lancet for forward movement, wherein the trigger deflects the lancet body in a direction generally transverse to the longitudinal axis of the housing such that the lancet body may move forwardly past the fixed abutment surface.

Disclosed is a replaceable blood lancet device in which a needle unit including a needle carrier and a front slider is used as inserted in a tubular barrel, and the used needle unit or needle carrier is replaced after use. The replaceable blood lancet device minimizes waste of resources by reducing the parts to be discarded in reuse. In addition, the front slider inserted in the barrel is easily loaded and unloaded through the withdrawal grip portion provided in the front slider. Further, an action spring for elastically pushing the needle carrier in a frontward direction, and a rear end cap for supporting the actuation spring to be compressed to generate an elastic force are provided, so that the blood lancet device can perform blood collection based on the elastic force of the spring.
