Product Description:

Advocate 21G x 2.4mm Safety Lancets are engineered for patients requiring frequent capillary blood glucose sampling. The pressure-activation mechanism eliminates the need for a separate lancing device by deploying the needle upon direct skin contact. The 21 gauge needle diameter and 2.4mm penetration depth are calibrated to draw an adequate blood sample volume for standard glucometer testing while minimizing tissue disruption.

Each lancet is individually sterile-packaged to meet clinical hygiene standards and is suitable for both home self-testing and professional point-of-care use. The automatic retracting needle and integrated cap reduce accidental needlestick exposure before and after use, supporting safe single-use disposal. The compact, ergonomic housing is compatible with standard glucose monitor storage kits.

FAQ:

Q: Does this lancet require a separate lancing device?

Q: Can these lancets be reused?
